Jan Wouter - Maghreb Jazz re-issued

The album Maghreb Jazz Guitar by guitar specialist Jan Wouter Oostenrijk will be re-issued on the 26th of July 2024.

Here is the release text from the artist management.

Re-release of the album Maghreb Jazz Guitar (2006), that won a RadioIndy golden artist award in the USA in 2008

The album can be seen as one of first in the development of the Maghreb Jazz music style.

Extraordinarily gifted, classically trained Dutch guitarist Jan Wouter Oostenrijk has put together an interesting band of North African musicians to create a group that’s able to navigate the crosscurrents between guitar-led jazz and Moroccan Maghreb music.

The more openly energetic moments on the album come on the original numbers, such as the spidery Weather Report-like fusion of “I Blaed I Musiqya” (inspired, according to the liner notes, by a Sudanese dalib rhythm), or the jumpy traditional Moroccan sounding “Barud,” where the band’s indigenous rhythms provide a propulsive foundation for Oostenrijk’s guitar work.

Much of the album is taken up with the band’s recordings of several jazz classics, smoky and elegant in themselves, but the constraints of the material foor some make these tracks suffer in comparison with the ones where they give each other more room to roar. Beside the Maghreb influences, there is a strong affinity with the Middle East.

Lesley Rae Dowling and Tully McCully - a new single

South African songstress Lesley Rae Dowling sent shock waves through the local pop music business with her stunningly individual style of vocal delivery when she came on the scene in the early 1980s. Her producer Tully McCully wrote Grips of Emotion for her and it hit the charts in January 1982. The follow-up release, her debut album revealed that she was also a serious songwriter. Her song Spaniard was the second single to garner heavy rotation leading to the first album going gold not long afterwards.
