		At 31, Omar Bashir, son of the late, renowned Iraqi composer and oud master Munir Bashir, is one of the most prolific Arab musicians today.
		Munir Bashir was one of the first Arab musicians to perform on the oud worldwide without vocal accompaniment, and I continue where my father left off.
		Bashir: This can be addressed by going back to our traditions and studying in depth the musical heritage of the maqams, our musical instruments, and by training and encouraging our children to listen to classical music such as the Andalusi muwashah.

	Classical Voice of North Carolina
		Bashir presented a solo recital of music for the oud, the Arab ancestor to the western lute (al-'oud), in memory of his father Munir Bashir (1930-1997), one of the Arab world's most renowned oud players.
		The elder Bashir's music can be compared to that of Duke Ellington in that, although it is musically "set in stone" as it were, the effect is still of free improvisation.
		Nevertheless, with all Munir Bashir's compositions, especially the two on the second half of the program, Al-Amira al-Andalusia (The Princess of Andalusia) and Seville, there was the clear Spanish Flamenco aura, as well as the presence of western-type folk tunes and structure in the first.

		Munir Bashir was universally considered the best soloist oud player alive and one of the greatest of all times, in the company of Mohamad Qasabgi, Farid al-Atrash and Sharif Haydar.
		The Bashir children were compelled to live up to that honor and responsibility, and both became apprentices of master instructor Sharif Mohiedin Haydar.
		In fact, Bashir was "discovered" in Beirut by Swiss ethnomusicologist Simon Jargy, who invited him to perform in Geneva, thus moving him to the international arena, in which he found recognition and comfort.

		Born in 1930 in the city of Mosul in north Iraq to a family of mixed Assyrian and Kurdish heritage, Munir Bashir began to play the oud at a very young age under his father's tutelage.

	MUSIC
		During the 1970s Bashir's career took a new direction; under the influence of the musicologists Simon Jargy and Poul Rovsing Olsen, he limited his playing to solo improvisations (taqsim), which brought him international recognition.
		In 1973 he became an artistic consultant to the Iraqi government, and was appointed head of the newly constituted Department of Music of the Ministry of Culture and Information.
		Bashir's music depends extensively on the melodic material of the Iraqi maqam; by treating this material through improvisations and using the techniques of the Sharif school, he initiated a new trend in ‘ud playing, achieving al-Sharif Muhieddin's goal of developing a new role for the instrument beyond its use in vocal art.

	Recording review: Munir Bashir (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Given the form's inherent restrictions, Bashir's improvisations are elegantly melodic.
		He tends to favor short phrases, and certain moments remind me of the kind of development one might find in unaccompanied saxophone solos by Anthony Braxton or Roscoe Mitchell.
		Bashir's technique allows the listener to forget the stringent rules of the form in which he works and enjoy the music on a purely sensual level.

		The Iraqi oud player Munir Bashir, and his Mesopotamia, a double CD with extensive notes in French and English, conjures that other important element.
		And that is simply that he reminds the listener why their initial, uninformed, partially formed or well-informed instincts were spot-on when they heard his playing.
		As to the technical bit, Bashir performs solo (apart from the eighth, the valedictory track, Arabesque) and interprets Segah, Hanan, Taratil, Hikmah al Kebir, Nesemat and Nakhil.
