Ibrahim Maalouf performs at the Jazz Bakery at Theatre Raymond Kabbaz

Share

Born in Lebanon and based in Paris, acclaimed trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf uses a quarter-tone trumpet to meld the sound of jazz with the sonic building blocks of Arabic music. Though such a meeting could sound jarring to the uninitiated, Maalouf makes it sound intoxicatingly natural on his moody new album “Wind,” a recording inspired by Miles Davis’ soundtrack work for Louis Malle’s “Elevator to the Gallows.” The Jazz Bakery at Theatre Raymond Kabbaz, 10361 Pico Blvd., L.A. Thu., 7:30 p.m. $35 https://www.jazzbakery.com.
