Search - George Mgrdichian Ensemble :: One Man's Passion

George Mgrdichian, America's oud virtuoso performs with some of the finest musicians in New York. This album is the perfect Middle Eastern instrumental album featuring traditional music and inspirational "taksim" playing by the musicians. Created initially for an Arab sheik who heard George perform at a concert several years ago. The sheik enjoyed George's sound and commissioned him to make an album of ancient Arabic folklore songs with a heavy jazz influence. Unfortunately, the sheik died before hearing the finished recording. The result of one man's passion for music is this album. A must for George Mgrdichian fans!
