N.A.P Music is a collaboration of musicians who, in their artistic journey, transcend their familiar cultural confines. It represents the evolution of the enduring partnership between clarinetist Lena Nowak (Warsaw Sentimental Orchestra) and composer and oud virtuoso Ahmad Al Khatib (Sabil). Joining them is the renowned Polish jazz double bassist Wojciech Pulcyn.
The trio's repertoire mainly consists of compositions by Ahmad Al Khatib who is regarded as one of the most interesting oud virtuosos of his era. With immense knowledge and experience, he steers music onto new, unexpected paths, drawing from the legacy of classical Arabic and European music alike. Through sensitive incorporation, his compositions serve as a canvas for improvisation, ensuring that each concert is unique.
