Dhafer Youssef & Wolfgang Muthspiel - Glow

At long last! It was inevitable in more ways than one that Austrian guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel and French-based Tunisian oud player and singer Dhafer Youssef would finally get round to making an album together. Both musicians are united not just by the converging chapters of their biographies but also by a shared musical ideal. Both of them internalised the musical traditions of their home countries before going on long journeys to the far reaches of jazz and kindred musical forms, eventually arriving at a style which is divorced from all outside preconceptions, categories or commercial formats. At this point Muthspiel and Youssef have come together again to lay their common manifesto.
