It was a real treat to be invited to play at the Cairo Jazz Festival with Eduardo Niebla and his brother Salvador Niebla (drums).
What a warm welcome and an energetic, electric atmostphere! It's amazing to see people coming together and celebrating music in spite of recent difficulties. Jazz is such an all-inclusive, joyful and democratic art form and I can't think of a better soundtrack for modern Egypt than this festival. Local and international, traditional and modern music in a blend that's all the richer for its diversity. Hope it goes from strength to strength!
