Featuring trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, saxophonist Charlie Mariano, bassist SteveSwallow and percussionists Ramesh Shotham and Milton Cardona.Kurt Keefner stated “Blue Camel is the pinnacle to date of Lebanese oud player RabihAbou- Khalil’s achievement as a jazzman. In both mood and scope, it can almost becharacterized as a new Kind of Blue. Both tense and reflective, it is perfect forlistening after midnight … Blue Camel may not be a perfect album, but it demonstratesbetter than any other that a fusion between jazz and a musical form from anotherculture is possible and can work to the advantage of both. Plus, it’s just greatlistening”.
Metal Reviews said: “The album glories in crafting a successful blend of Arabianmusic and jazz: a very homogeneous and enjoyable fusion with enough shift in moodand method to keep things interesting”.
