Arabian Soundscapes Vol.One is the first of a new series of albums composed and produced by Glenn Sharp. This album features soloist Paul Cheneour who performs on various flutes and neys. Originally this was conceived as an album of production music for film and TV.
World-class artists, Paul Cheneour and Glenn Sharp, are members of the Jadid Ensemble with artists Olivia Moore (violin), Adam Warne (percussion) and Gavin Barras (double bass) performing the sensual track 'Sigh Of The Moor' in World Music Network's The Rough Guide To Undiscovered World. Sigh Of The Moor is also the name of Jadid Ensemble's debut album written and produced by Glenn Sharp. It takes the listener across an atmospheric journey from Spain to the Middle East. The album features an exciting selection of instruments such as the flamenco guitar, oud, Turkish saz, violin, Middle-Eastern percussion, flutes, neys and mizmars.
This excellently eccentric Rough Guide is a whistle-stop tour of wild world music. The majority of music here is previously un-released, so you won’t hear this anywhere else, and it’s not worth missing. Enjoy everything from a trio of Romanian harmonica enthusiasts to a Zimbabwean-Brazilian jazz project, and more.

'Collaboration means a willingness to adapt to and be sympathetic to other people's styles. One can delight in another's person's ideas, ones you've never even dreamed of yourself and to, embrace them positively. It allows the creation of something greater than the sum total of the parts.'- Paul Cheneour.
