Who is Omar? I think u're never heard his name, but trust me, his music is very awsome!
review about him :
The son of a United Nations diplomat, Omar Akram spent many of his early years traveling the world, soaking up the musical traditions of such exotic locales as Afghanistan, Cuba, France, and the Czech Republic.
By the age of 14, he was considered a piano prodigy. In his late teens, he discovered the boundary-pushing sounds of Jean Michel Jarre (France), Kitaro (Japan), and Vangelis (Greece), and began to absorb their independent musical influences. At the same time, Omar Akram remained intrigued by such classical composers as Bach and Mozart, and used much of their thematic coherence, comprehensible structure, and clear rhythmic control to craft his own original compositions.
The marriage of the modern and the Classical culminated in the release of OPAL FIRE in September 2002 under the Real Music label, his first recording as lead artist. Listeners were mesmerized by Omar's musical artistry, emotional intensity, romantic subtexts, and globally inspired textures. Reviewers were just as impressed: “Tales that open the heart and touch the soul.” (Steve Ryals, New Age Retailer) “Omar…creates a keyboard driven tour de force of worldly textures and exotic rhythms.” (Chris Spector, Midwest Record Recap) The record soared to #14 on the Billboard New Age chart.
Omar's versatility as both a soloist and accompanist are also showcased on his newest release, FREE AS A BIRD. Working with such brilliant musicians as Eric Marienthal of The Rippingtons, Ramon Stagnaro, Pedro Eustache and Charlie Bisharat from Yanni’s orchestra, and keyboardist/producer Gregg Karukas, he achieves a remarkable synthesis of New Age and progressive jazz elements. Eleven great songs, including “Dancing With The Wind,” “Flight of Mystery,” and the title track “Free As A Bird,” feature the beautiful rhythmic patterns and exotic free-spirited compositions that have become Omar's trademark.
“For all the lush production values, it’s Omar's piano – beautiful in its elegance and rich in its quiet rhythmic power – that proves the most unforgettable element,” wrote Jonathan Widran of FREE AS A BIRD in the All Music Guide. “Sure to be on my Top 10 for 2004,” enthused Kathy Parsons of Solo Piano Publications.
A compelling melodist, a disciplined romantic, and a mood-maker extraordinaire, Omar offers a world of music as diverse as the places he’s lived in. With FREE AS A BIRD, he has earned a place among the world’s best contemporary instrumental artists.
Review about the album (Free As a Bird - 2004)
Even as Real Music kicks up its release schedule to include more Eastern meditation projects, the label has committed to more pop-minded new age artists who beautifully blend relaxing atmospheres with tight, colorful melodies and grooves. Pianist/composer Omar thanks piano legend David Lanz in his liner notes, and like Lanz has done recently, takes a radio-friendly smooth jazz sojourn on many of the tracks here. Every other track alternates between soaring, self-produced atmospheric and exotic pieces and more in-the-pocket rhythmic tunes produced by smooth jazz keyboardist Gregg Karukas (who has also produced Lanz). Working with top outside musicians (from violinist Charlie Bisharat to saxman Eric Marienthal), Omar creates a wonderfully diverse collection which allows him to remain firmly at center stage. On the title track, his sensual musings are given dreamy and elegant harmonic support from Bisharat, while other pieces involve interaction with strings and percussion ("Passage Into Midnight") or gentle, electronic grooves. No label release would be complete without some ode to Indian instrumentation, and Omar's nod to the Orient is the sensuous and atmospheric "Beauty Unveiled," which begins in an ambient trance state with intermingling sitar and flute before the pianist enters and begins a more upbeat adventure. For all the lush production values, it's Omar's piano, beautiful in its elegance and rich in its quiet rhythmic power, that proves the most unforgettable element.
