His concentrated effeorts, in addition to his creativity and talent have exposed the music to new audiences such as world music enthusiasts as well as Belly Dancers world-wide. Born, raised, and educated in Brooklyn, New York, his desire to entertain was apparent at an early age. By the age of eight, Eddie entertained family and relatives with his Tabla (Arabic Drum). As his interest and ability developed, he began his studies with New York's foremost percussionist, Henry Adler. During World War II, Eddie served in the Special Services Division of the Army, and from 1942 to 1946 he entertained troops in the Italian, Greek, and Egyptian theatres of war. Upon his return, Eddie's immeidate success established him as a leader in his field, appearing at fine clubs on both Arabic and American concerts stages throughout the United States and Canada. Eddie has appeared at the Dean Martin "City of Hope" telethon, where he was presented the Award of Hope: a five year collaboration with Anthony Quinn on the Broadway hit musical "Zorba The Greek:" with Danny Thomas for ALSAC: at the churches, hospitals, charitable organizations and other institutions have proven him to be an unselfish and tireless entertainer. As an outstanding sponsor of his beautiful musical art, his work is credited in over 100 recordings of Arabic, Armenian, Greek, Turkish, and Israeli music, both as a producer and consultant. When Eddie met Hakki Obadia, it was an artist phenomenon as the Easterner from Baghdad collaborated with the Westerner from Brooklyn. Hakki, while lesser known in the East Coast, cotinued to have a loyal following in the Middle East and on the West Coast. He was not only the founder of the first Symphony Orchestra of Baghdad, but the concertmaster as well. His devotion to classical (Western) and Arabic music is legendary. He became assistant conductor with the symphony orchestra at the University of California, where he studied music and composition under the noted American composer, Roger Sessions, and the late internationally famous Ernest Bloch. Hakki has thought many students both in Bagdad and California. Considered by many critics a "genius." Hakki is the master of the Oud, Piano, Guitar, and Mandolin. Eddie's and Hakki's collaboration gave the dancer an exciting sound, while also containing enough moods for a spell-binding performance. The music features complete cabaret routines, as well as more unique and specialized music such as Dervish, Sudani, Pharaonic, Beledi, amongst others. CONDITION Descriptions: I base the condition of each of my Records off of Ebay's Grading System. • MINT (M) Looks new and unplayed. Very high vinyl luster and no noticeable label defects. Sounds new. With 45rpm records, this does not always mean there is no surface noise at all. • NEAR MINT (NM) Looks almost new, but has some minor flaws such as a drill hole; unobtrusive writing on label (e.g., an X on a promo copy); minor scuffing on vinyl; minor color flaking on label, or other insignificant flaws that only slightly detract from visual appeal. May have some minor surface noise, but nothing distracting. • VERY GOOD (VG) There may be light scuffing and some of the original vinyl luster may be lost. The vinyl and label may appear used, but well cared for. Records may have some more obvious flaws that are not visually degrading such as a sticker on the label; more noticeable writing on the label; scuffing and minor scratches on the vinyl; or minor discoloration of the label. There may be very minor warping of the vinyl. There may be a slight scratch not affecting play. • GOOD (G) Record has visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, minor surface scratches, groove wear, and audible surface noise. Appears well used but not abused. May have a few major flaws, such as scratches, label tears, or stickers, and/or writing. • FAIR (F) Appears well used and somewhat abused. Audio is not great due to surface noise and scratches. The record may have a stick or a skip. Records in this condition are those you might purchase to fill a hole in your collection until a better copy comes along. • POOR (P) Well played with little luster and significant surface noise, but still not cracked or broken. Record likely skips and/or sticks. Typically so bad looking that a true “collector” would just toss it out. More useful as a Frisbee. I try not to sell records in this condition.
