UNRELEASED 1988 MODERN SOUL MEETS CITY POP FROM LATE 1980s JORDAN: Recorded between 1988-89 in a small 8-track home studio in Amman, Pieces of a Dream captures a side of the Arab music scene rarely documented: a group of musicians deeply inspired by jazz, soul, yacht rock and city pop, creating music that sounds closer to late night LA or London than what most would associate with Jordan at the time. Nechazz was formed by Palestinian Jordanian musician Basim Said & Khaldoon Nasser and Iraqi singer and guitarist Kassim Sabounchi. While the trio became locally known for their live shows at the iconic Amman club Rumours, the music they wrote and recorded together was never officially released and remained unheard even among friends and family of the band. The album blends smooth RnB, jazz and sophisticated pop arrangements, drawing inspiration from artists such as Bobby Caldwell, Steely Dan, Michael Franks, early George Michael, Tears For Fears, Level 42 and Stevie Wonder.
