Oriol Marès & Talal Fayad Quartet fuses clarinet and Arabic oud into a sound that bridges Arab modal traditions, Latin polyrhythms, and jazz freedom. Barcelona-born clarinettist Oriol Marès’ improvisational approach draws from European conservatoire training while actively engaging with folk idioms from Iberia and the Americas. In contrast, Talal Fayad, originally from Syria, brings a deep knowledge of maqam-based music and has been increasingly involved in European experimental scenes. Together, they weave those influences into a vibrant Mediterranean sound, reimagining the region's musical plural identity. The pair will be performing at JZ Club this Wednesday and Thursday - with help from double bassist Danny Zanker.
