Highlights
The gig moves on to a somewhat more recent tune, Herbie Hancock’s “The Sorcerer,” first recorded in the late ’60s.
There is no chanting to be heard during the Tarek Yamani Trio’s Tuesday evening concert at the Beirut Souks shopping mall.
The band leader utters a few amiable introductory remarks between tunes. Late in the show, drummer Khaled Yassine’s little boy leads a brief, unscheduled, shout-out from the audience.
Otherwise, the instruments do the talking.
If you love hearing new takes on Western jazz traditions, you’ll love the Tarek Yamani Trio.
