LE TRIO JOUBRAN
Last year Samir Joubran told a reporter that he got the idea for this oud trio, comprised of him and his two brothers, when he heard the guitar trio of Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, and Paco De Lucia. "Why can't the oud be shiny like that?" he asked. Fortunately these Palestinian siblings don't put a premium on flash; the playing on their debut CD, Randana (Fairplay/Sheer), is undeniably incendiary, but you never wonder if they're getting paid by the note. Instead they use traditional Arabic improvisational modes as launchpads for episodes of stirring, but thoughtful interplay that showcase their intimate attunement to one another. 04/07/06
