About

Among the many artists using and fusing world rhythms, Middle Eastern influences have become increasingly widespread as exemplied by the music of Avishai Cohen, Rabih Abou Khalil, Abdullah Ibrahim, Omar Faruk Tekbilek and others. Jazz pioneers from as early as the turn of the century have been influenced by this music and incorporated it into their work. Topics covered include unique Judeo-Arab modes, the use of tetrachords as building blocks, unique rhythms and beat patterns, odd meters, Andalusian styles, Klezmer and more. Open to all!
