More jazzy--and less mannered--than Drab Zeen.......2004-04-29

Don't get me wrong; Drab Zeen is one of my favorites--but I like Ali on Broadway even better. Yes, it's older. Yes, it's a remix of a previously released disc of the same name. But compared to Drab Zeen, it's jazzier, less dance-trance-club oriented, with more organic and less static beats, more improv, fewer vocals, and better songs.

It'll probably be less successful as well.

Comparisons?

It's in a similar mold to Dhaffer Youssef's great disc, Digital Prophesy, and Claude Chalhoub's excellent eponymous disc. But what it really reminds me of is bandmate Rita Marcotulli's fabulous disc, Koine. Just a cut below each of these masterful discs, Ali on Broadway is still eminently worth checking out.

4 and 1/2 stars.

Unpleasant surprise........2004-02-26

I have to admit that I was disappointed with the album. I had heard his album, Drab Zeen, and immediately considered it one of my favorites. I bought this CD with similiar expectations, but the two are quite different. This is an older album and I feel he was still developing as an artist. I do recommend it, but it is not close to the caliber of Drab Zeen. I hope this helps.

I really liked this CD, Toufic's music carries me to another world. I guess that the cooperation with Ziad Rahbani gave this CD a special taste. My best recommendation.
