Zuhour (flowers in Arabic) is an album of improvised pieces by the duo of guitarists Ayman Fanous and Joe Morris. While firmly rooted in the free jazz idiom, the pieces veer into unexpected territory, including flamenco and musique concrète. Both guitarists employ a wide array of techniques, from traditional plectrum approaches to fingerstyle and extended techniques. Although the pieces are entirely unplanned, they sometimes sound through-composed, due to Fanous and Morris’ sympathetic deep listening and generosity. This results in music that is warm, spontaneous, and unpredictable, where figure and ground merge imperceptibly and kaleidoscopic
