oudAbout
Bandleader and oud player Brian Prunka brings a diverse group of jazz NY musicians to Matt Garrison's ShapeShifter Lab, to play his Arabic-inspired compositions—bringing about his personal vision of a union of Middle-Eastern Music and Jazz. Mentored by Arabic music heavyweights like Simon Shaheen and Bassam Saba, the music's authenticity satisfies that traditionalists while the energetic modern arrangements and jazz aesthetic draw in the uninitiated. With people like Kenny Warren and Reuben Radding given ample space to add their own stamp to the music, there's never a dull moment.
Opening set at 8:15 by master oud player Najib Shaheen and friends...
