I’m a casual listener to “free jazz” or “free improvisational jazz” and on a Chicago listserv I came across this performance. It is a Lebanese guy, playing his trumpet in a melody-less free jazz style with explosions in the background. Mazen Kerbaj, the artist, does not seem to be trying to make any overt political statements, just simply presenting what is. I don’t quite know what to make of it but after listening to it through a couple of times I can’t get the performance and the whole idea of it out of my head.Follow this link to hear an excerpt of his performance.
Well, he certainly won't get his work profiled in TimeOut Beirut
