The extraordinary trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf released Diasporas, his first album, in 2007. Since that auspicious debut, he has become one of the music world's key jazz artists, garnering the unanimous endorsement of the press and well-deserved popular acclaim. Maalouf's second and third albums, named Diachronism and Diagnostic, completed the 'Dia' trilogy. Worldwide sales of these three albums have topped 100,000 units so far. For several years now, the first two albums in the trilogy have been unavailable. Thanks to the huge success of Maalouf's recently released album Wind, his first two albums are now available once more as part of this specially-priced boxed set entitled (appropriately) Dia.

Maalouf's First 3 Albums on 4 CDs
I notice that there is no listing of the product, so here we go...Ibrahim Maalouf decided to take his first 3 albums and make a box set. This box set comes with 4 CDs, 2 CDs which are from his 2nd Album.1st Album "Diasporas"1. Intro2. Diaspora3. Kanoun Improvisation4. Hashish5. Missin'Ya (Night in Tunisia)6. Oud Improvisation7. Shadows8. Verdict9. Last WishesBonus 10. Trumpet ImprovisationBonus 11. 19252nd Album "Diachronism"1st CD Disoriental:1. Pouh Hia2. Naga3. Ya Ha La4. Trumpet - Saz Improvisation5. Hyu Man2nd CD Paradoxidental:1. Intro (old radio of a Lebanese mountain)2. Esse Emme3. Intro (winners of 2007-2009 tour)4. Bizarre5. Make CE6. Trumpet - Piano Improvisation7.

All The Beatiful Things11. DiagnosticBonus 12. BeirutSave yourself some money and buy all 3 albums at the cost of a single CD. Ibrahim Maalouf plays a custom made 4 value trumpet that plays 1/4 tones which give an Mid-Eastern flair to his Pop, Reggae, Jazz-Rock music.Wait! Do I hear a few typical bad words in the almost rap song "Make CE"? Come on, if your going to play Jazz Rock with a different flair you will be reaching a certain personal that doesn't listen to, nor want's to think in that fashion.

Surprisingly pedestrian hodgepodge, considering the pr buildup Maalouf's been given. His obvious predecessors from the late '60s were infinitely more inventive and interesting

I love it
Superb!

good value for Maalouf fans
4 CDs which constitute an excellent summary of where Maalouf is coming from and where he's at now - a mixture of influences, an eclecticism of styles, always interesting to listen to. One of the most prolific innovators in contemporary jazz.

Gleich zwei Empfehlungen
Eine für die Musik von Ibrahim Maalouf, die sich wohltuend vom gewohnten Einheitsbrei abhebt und zum Zweiten für den Französischen Staatssender FIP ([...]), ohne den man solche Perlen nie finden würde.
