here’s another “i” that i had stashed up in the cloud, and which ticks an awful lot of boxes. there’s an interesting review of this show up at worldmusicandculture.com, including (which is fascinating) that maalouf “plays a microtonal trumpet that was invented by his father, which enables him to play the quarter tones that are essential to the performance of maqqam”. who knew there even was such a thing? kcrw has an article on this particular trumpt also, but apparently there have been others in the past, including one commissioned by jazz trumpeter don ellis. as far as i can tell, they all have one thing in common: a fourth valve. and “microtonal“? the notes between the notes… you have to love something anything so interstitial (though i suppose in this case “interstitial” might depend on your perspective).
