Permission to Evaporate

Joseph Tawadros

Virtuosic oud melodies meeting the improvisational spirit of jazz. A cinematic, border-crossing record that feels both ancient and urgently modern.

It's like a jazz club in the middle of the Sahara at 3 AM.

A sophisticated blend of ancient longing and modern intellectual curiosity.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The frantic, interlocking rhythms of the oud and percussion that open Bluegrass Nikriz, bridging two distant worlds.

The title track's slow, spectral decay where the oud notes seem to literally hang in the air before vanishing.

The mournful, deeply resonant bass solo in Peace for My Father that anchors the album's emotional core.
