M'OUDSWING- The brainchild of a Moroccan and American musician, M'oudswing introduces jazz to a Middle Eastern/North African audiences, and showcases Arabic Jazz for the western audiophile in the USA, and perhaps creates a new breed of listener. M'Oudswing was conceived after a chance meeting between oud player Karim Kadiri and keyboardist Barry Sames in early 2003, and the duo soon enlisted Chilean saxophonist Anibal Rojas, Lebanese percussionist Joe Tayoun, and American bassist Dave Brodie, and drummer Dave Brown. This "Moroccan Jazz" layers oud melodies with modal jazz improvisation over North African grooves. The sextet has performed in numerous festivals in Morocco, including Tangier, Jazzablanca and Mawazine, played various festivals in the USA, and have interest in some European festivals for 2015. They have two studio recordings as of this writing, and will be recording the concert at WCL. This is their last performance in the USA for 2014.
