Hello Everyone,









I am writing to invite you to a performance of mine at Backstory Cafe's
Wednesday night jam session hosted by MEME's own Alex Wing. I will be playing
some traditional and classical Arabic instrumental and vocal pieces, with
improvisations betwixt and between. This is likely going to be the last time I
play in Chicago before I go back to the Middle East in September, so it would be
a great chance to play for you all one last time. To entice you, I am listing
some pieces in the program:







- Samai Saba, Omar Al-Faqir


- Samai Farahfeza, Al-Sharif Muhyiddin Haydar


- Longa Kurdilihicazcar, Kemani Sebu Efendi


- Thikrayati (My memories), Mohammad Al-Qasabji


- Al-Ousfour Al-Tair (The Flying Bird), Munir Bashir


- Vocal medleys in Rast, Bayati and Hijaz







Backstory Cafe is at?6100 Blackstone Ave. There will be a jam session from 6 -
7:30. I will be on from 7:30 - 9:00.







Hope to see you there.


regards,


Abboud
