Winner of the prestigious Thelonious Monk award, pianist Tarek Yamani has shared the stage with figures such as Wayne Shorter, Richard Bona, Zakir Hussein, Esperanza Spalding, Antonio Sánchez, Brian Blade and Vinnie Coliauta. Born in Beirut, Yamani stands out for constantly playing with the boundaries between African-American, Arabic and electronic music.
Since he settled in New York in 2011, he has played as a leader or sideman in the most renowned clubs in the city including Lenox Lounge, Iridium, Smoke, Smalls, Cornelia Street Cafe, Bill's Place, The Stone, Le Poisson Rouge, Shapeshifter Lab, Nublu and 55 Bar.
Tarek Yamani’s critically acclaimed album Lisan Al Tarab: Jazz Conceptions in Classical Arabic is an exploration of classical Arabic music within the frameworks of jazz. The result, a genre often dubbed as “Afro-Tarab” is a performance which journeys from early 1900’s Egypt to contemporary New York.
The repertoire will include reinterpretations of classical Arabic “muwashahat,” jazz standards, as well as original compositions based on edgy traditional Arabic rhythms and melodic modes.
