Yes, you see that in Italy, as well. (Scooters).

Re Queen, Who Wants To Live Forever, The Show Must Go On and the timeless Bohemian Rhapsody would probably fall into my top three; they would certainly make my top five.
Who wants to live forever all day long for me.
But I also like it’s a kind of Magic, one vision and Bohemian rhapsody.

Rounded up ECM's video for a promo version of the Bom Dia Rio track from that Blue Maqams album, provided along with some notes about the players, and now I'm skipping my usual Apple Music phase and heading straight for the CD purchase... thanks for that post.



[parts of the ECM promo video were shot in Paris and at l'IMA (l'institut du monde arabe) in the Latin Quarter there.]

From ECM's notes: Recorded in New York’s Avatar Studios in May 2017 and produced by Manfred Eicher, Blue Maqams brings Tunisian oud master Anouar Brahem together with three brilliant improvisers. For Anouar Brahem and Dave Holland the album marks a reunion: they first collaborated 20 years ago on the very widely-acclaimed Thimar album. Brahem meets Jack DeJohnette for the first time here, but Holland and DeJohnette have been frequent musical partners over the last half-century beginning with ground-breaking work with Miles Davis – their collaborations are legendary. British pianist Django Bates also rises superbly to the challenge of Brahem’s compositions. And Anouar in turn is inspired to some of his most outgoing playing. Blue Maqams is a highlight of ECM’s autumn season. Live appearances by the quartet will follow in 2018.


I also like his album Le pas du chat noir, in which he performs as part of a trio: oud, piano, and accordion.

Just this evening, I have ordered that Blue Maqams album and look forward to receiving it and listening to it. Thank you for recommending it.

And thank you @LizKat for the Mardi Gras suggestions; one such album has also been ordered as of this evening.
