Eddie Adamis Orchestra - Middle East Goes Modern

Review by Richard Andrews

The Eddie Adamis Orchestra's album Middle East Goes Modern is a fusion of traditional Middle Eastern music and modern jazz. The album features a blend of instruments such as the oud, darbuka, and saxophone. The overall sound is unique and refreshing, as it seamlessly combines the two genres.

The album opens with "Arabian Nights," a lively and upbeat track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. "Desert Dreams" is a slower, more contemplative piece that showcases the oud's haunting melodies. "Bazaar" is a lively track that brings to mind the bustling markets of the Middle East.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Sands of Time." It features a beautiful saxophone solo that adds a touch of modernity to the traditional Middle Eastern sound. "Oasis" is another standout track, with its intricate percussion and soaring melodies.

Summary by Richard Andrews

Middle East Goes Modern is a well-crafted album that successfully blends two different genres of music. The Eddie Adamis Orchestra has created a unique sound that is both enjoyable and thought-provoking. It is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates world music and jazz.
