"Best new album of the month is Dhafer Youssef's sensational "Diwan Of Beauty And Odd", a sumptuous banquet of exotic, middle-eastern-tinged jazz where the Tunisian singer and virtuoso oud player is supported by a crack US band including trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire and drummer Mark Guiliana. The killer cut is a kinetic groove called Cheerful Meshuggah".
