Does anybody know, is the cd that goes with the book "Arabic Music Scales" by Cameron Powers still available? I have the book but not the cd (yet).

Hi Alexander,

Why don't you go ahead and contact Cameron Powers directly? http://www.cameronpowers.com/contactcameron.html

I also suggest this book for more advance maqam study: http://www.amazon.com/The-Maqam-Book-Doorway-Scales/dp/965505053X/r...

All the best,
John

Great book. I have found it invaluable and it is the SOLE book I have been working from since I started learning oud. I especially like how Cameron describes the associated mood and feel of many of the maqamat. I have not picked up the CD yet. Has anyone here and can they comment on it?

I will try to locate a copy in the UK of The Maqam Book. Getting it imported from the US will mean I get hit with a customs charge. If I manage to get the book I will write an account here.

Hi Alexander,
I have the Maqam Book by David Muallem and I find it very useful.

Interesting.... if so I'm jumping right on this. Duty Calculator seems to confirm also. Thanks, David.
