Hey everyone!!
A few months back, me and a oudist friend of mine (the oud is the original Arab lute) started an oriental jazz band. Our main objective was to make a mix of jazz, the music many people here love, with the Lebanese Oriental feel that everyone here connects with and can easily recieve. I think we came out with a really nice fusion and a lot of people loved our first performance.
The band is now called Blue Orhex and consists of 7 main members.
Sax (myself)
Oudist
Bassist
Arabic Percussion
Drummer
Keyboardist
Clarinetist
The main members are the first four, and the last three just appear in some songs. Clarinet doesn't appear in these recordings because she just joined.
Anyways, I'm attaching a link to our first concert's recording. Please everyone have a listen and give me your opinion. Mind you, we know the drummer messed up too much and we have a different one now. We all messed up in some places in terms of memorizing our parts, but that was mostly due to us being in a rush to learn the songs.

I hope you all enjoy!
