Blue Camel is a real breakthrough album. The construction of Arab music
forms and American jazz, combined with a great blend of Mid-Eastern and
Western instrumentation, is simply ingenius in and of itself, aside from
the brilliant, virtuoso performances displayed on this album. This is
the perfect, early portrayal of a pioneer, multi-ethnic style of music,
and probably the best of the early albums of Rabih Abou-Khalil.
The
diversity of styles is amazing, ranging from the moody, deep soundscapes
of "Sahara" and "Beirut" to the jazzier, less involved songs like
"Rabou-Abou-Kabou." The instrumentation, particularly the flugelhorn and
trumpet, add a great texture to the sound.
In both mood and scope, it can almost be characterized as a new Kind of Blue.
