The Tunisian oud master Anouar Brahem has chosen to work in a trio setting this time out, accompanied by Francois Couturier on piano and Jean-Louis Matinier on accordion. Brahem states in the liner notes that these pieces were actually composed on the piano, emerging while he was taking a much-needed short break from his primary instrument. While Pas de Chat Noir ("The Black Cat's Footsteps") is a change of pace, it is a not a terribly remote detour. Brahem is still in his favorite space, exploring the power of implication, and the other players are in synch with his vision. All three participants sound muted, relating to one another in parallels rather than in a heated dialogue. The result is a spacious, romantic pastiche of Farid El-Atrache, Astor Piazzolla, Keith Jarrett, 19th- and 20th-century French impressionists (especially Eric Satie), plus shades of every strung-out, enervated, after-hours nightclub jam that ever was. --Christina Roden

Sublime November 4, 2008
A wonderful CD. The entry of the accordion in the first track is little short of miraculous.
He plays like he listens June 11, 2008
Anouar Brahem listens in uncommon ways, even to the footsteps of a black cat. His magical music comes from another place and another way of listening, and amply assisted by Couturier on piano and accordionist Jean-Louis Matinier. Anouar and pals, are definitely in the Transportation business with a capital T. They manage to transport the listener on a sonic carpet to other places in the world and seemingly not in this universe, but in a parallel one: things sound familiar but turn up to be surprises. This bit of magnificence is exquisitely nuanced and mesmerizing.
without borders October 11, 2007
This mix of the oud, piano and bandoleon make a borderless timeless mix of arabic, tango like and european sound. Already two years I am listening almost every week to this beautifull music, not to compare with anything else. I recommend strongly
Lovely May 20, 2007
This is a beautiful CD, filled with a musical style which defies categorization. Evocative of Eric Satie's work for the piano, this album is a hypnotic mix of Middle Eastern and Western sounds - part jazz, part classical. This is one of those purchases which I am glad I went the extra mile to find.

It is hard to describe this unusual CD. Hauntingly peaceful are two words that come to mind.Relaxing and calming are two more. Simply beautiful also.
