Negative Positive
Title: Transformative
Review: Simon Shaheen's new album, BLUE FLAME, is transformative--it transforms instruments, transforms listeners, transforms the concept of "fusion" music...it goes where few "fusion" recording go--not only does Shaheen successfully blend eastern and western instruments (a difficult feat), but he really creates a new genre with his fantasy for oud and string quartet--classical western infused with REAL Arabic music. Altogether lovely. A gem of an album. Two words: BUY IT!
