Two of them were held at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) on the last two days of November. First, French-Lebanese trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf charmed the Grand Theatre with his blend of jazz and Arabic sounds.
The following day, German multi-instrumentalist Prem Joshua did an exquisite Indo-fusion set at the Studio Theatre. Paris-based Maalouf was scheduled as part of the Sounds Of Jazz show, which was to also feature Cameroon-born American bassist and vocalist Richard Bona. For some reason, Bona's gig was cancelled at the last minute. It was unfortunate, considering he has a fairly large following among Indian jazz aficionados. For its part, NMACC announced a 30 per cent refund of ticket value within 15 days.
In the reworked scheme of things, Maalouf was to do a longer set. His concert aimed to promote his new album Trumpets Of Michel-Ange, which he dedicated to his grandfather, a musicologist, and father Naasim Maalouf, who invented a quarter-tone trumpet specially designed to play Arabic modes not possible on regular trumpets.
