In addition to learning from his favorite recording's, Nabil took his educational wishes a step further when he sought out the famous lute player Ali Sriti for several private master classes.

In 2004, Nabil decided to create a hybrid instrument which would allow him to share his true musical voice and vision that he was hearing deep within his soul. So after several years of research and development, Nabil's artistic vision paid off when he completed his one of a kind double neck lute/guitar instrument which he aptly named, "RayJam".

PETER BERNSTEIN TRIO: "Mostly Monk"*

*PETER BERNSTEIN TRIO: "Mostly Monk"*
*Peter Bernstein* - guitar /
*Doug Weiss* - double bass /
* Bill Stewart* - drums

*TOUR DATES*
27 April - 1 June 2014 /(Europe - 31 May Kosovo)/
July / August 2014 /(Everywhere in the world)/

*Peter Bernstein Trio Plays Monk*
Peter Bernstein is an important role model for the current generation
of jazz guitarists. With credits on over 60 recordings and having
performed with Sonny Rollins, Lou Donaldson, Diana Krall, Joshua
Redman, and Lee Konitz, Bernstein offers up virtuosity but what sticks
out is his soulful affinity to the guitar and the material. With his
Trio the New York based guitarist returns to the rich premise behind
“Monk,” his well-­‐received 2009 recording. Together with Doug
Weiss and Bill Stewart they put their own spin on the rich legacy of
Thelonious Monk, adapting its knotty idiosyncrasies to the fret board.

*Press*
/“The jazz guitarist, among the most sought after in the New York
area, has a feather-light touch, an encyclopedic knowledge of chords
and the ability to play standards like he’s inventing them on the
spot.”/ The Los Angeles Daily News

/“Mr. Bernstein is a fluidly improvising guitarist in the post-bop
tradition, with control over harmony and a beautiful sound.”/ -The
New York Times

/“Peter Bernstein produces a warm, ringing, muscular tone which
echoes that of such giants as Wes Montgomery, Jim Hall, and Kenny
Burrell.”/ -Jazziz
