CHICAGO CLASSICAL ORIENTAL ENSEMBLE/The Songs of Sheikh Sayyed Darweesh:
Indiana Jones music comes to life as a composer who called himself the Egyptian Verdi and died 80 years ago is resurrected by an ensemble who's average age is 27 but doesn't want his popular music forgotten. Forget all the historical baggage and enjoy the vibe of what it must have been like to smoke opium in coffeehouses back at the turn fo the last century. Wild stuff that draws on lots of exotic elements and will give you an unexpected world beat experience that could very easily grow on you. 04/29/06
