Review Fabulous! Marvelous! -- Dr. Ali Jihad Racy, professor of musicology, UCLA The cuts on Remembrances are both dizzyingly difficult to play and tremendously enjoyable to hear. You can marvel at the group's virtuosity, but what stands out overall is the sheer beauty of the music. -- Ellen Collison, Dirty Linen Magazine Product Description Personal favorites of the ensemble Jazayer, from the classical and urban music of the Middle East, especially arranged and recorded live (no overdubbing, for a truly superior sound). Includes two original pieces by Dr. Ali Jihad Racy and is the debut of his Longa Nahawand. Mimi Spencer, qanun; Vince Delgado, riqq and bendir; Devi-ja Delgado Croll, Arabic violin, Tom Shader, acoustic bass; and guest Coralie Russo, oud, on three pieces. About the Artist Jazayer Jazayer's core group (founder/percussionist/composer Vince Delgado; Kanun player/singer/transcriber/arranger Mimi Spencer; violinist Devi-ja Delgado Croll) has been performing together for more than 25 years.
