Front Door Key is the flagship album of Doc Jazz, Palestinian surgeon and musician. While Doc Jazz usually records his songs entirely by himself, playing all the instruments, doing all the vocals, and taking care of the entire production, Front Door Key is a noteworthy exception to this rule. This album was produced by Forrest Thomas and features an impressive line-up of well-known musicians from the Dutch music scene, like Susanne Alt (alto saxophone), Michelle David (backing vocals), Keith Keyes (bass), Eddie Conard (percussion), and Ward Veenstra (keyboard, guitar, and drum arrangements). This has resulted in a unique album, where strong lyrics, passionate vocals, smooth rhythms and jazzy melodies blend together in a harmonious and funky style that sounds new, but at the same time brings back the creativity and purity of the music of the late 70′s and 80′s. Next to guitar, piano, bass and drums, Doc Jazz also plays the Ud (arabic lute), the shibbabeh (Palestinian flute) and the darbekkeh (hand drum). In all tracks, he is featured on lead vocals, but also on guitar, keys and the shibbabeh in some of the songs. The music on this unique album will give you a peaceful and jazzy atmosphere if you put its mellow sounds at a low volume, doing whatever it is you are doing … but if you turn it up, and let the music take you away, you will be moved, rocked and challenged.
