I Saw You Dancing

Musical. Rhythmic. Energetic.

I Saw You Dancing is a full-length album that bridges the pulse of Western jazz with the soulful tones of Middle Eastern tradition. At its heart is a captivating collaboration between master percussionist Chris Wabich and oud virtuoso Dimitris Mahlis. Together, they blend international jazz with world music in a way that feels both deeply rooted and completely fresh.

The album features vibrant hand drum performances and the unmistakable sound of the Arabian oud—an ancient stringed instrument with a voice all its own. Each track carries an energetic, melodic drive balanced with moments of reflection, creating a listening experience that’s both lively and introspective.

Whether you’re at home, out for a drive, or simply immersed in a favorite hobby, this album fits seamlessly into your day. It was recorded using direct-to-two-track field recording—a technique that captures the immediacy and authenticity of a live performance.

Available on CD and digital download, I Saw You Dancing invites audiophiles and curious listeners alike to explore where East meets West—in harmony.
