Omar Hakim (born February 12, 1959 in New York City, USA) is an American jazz, jazz fusion and pop music drummer.

Hakim credits jazz vibraphonist Mike Mainieri with giving him his first break in 1980; Hakim appeared in a video with Mainieri called The Jazz Life and began working with singer Carly Simon through Mainieri. Hakim first came to major attention as a member of Weather Report and then Sting's Blue Turtles band, appearing in the film Bring On the Night.

In 1984, Hakim did most of the drum work on Dire Straits' album Brothers in Arms, when the previous drummer Terry Williams' performance was found unsuitable for the desired sound of the album after most of the songs had already been recorded. Hakim recorded all the drum tracks on the album in two days and then left. Williams was, however, brought back for the tour.

Between 1988 and 1989 he appeared regularly as the house band drummer in The Sunday Night Band during the first half season of the acclaimed music performance program Sunday Night on NBC late-night television.^[1] After being temporarily replaced by drummer J. T. Lewis for the remainder of that season, Hakim reappeared in the band for the second season in the fall of 1989, when the program returned under the new name Night Music.^[2]

Notable artists he has played with are Anita Baker, Sting, Weather Report, Mariah Carey, Madonna, David Bowie, Miles Davis, Chic, Bryan Ferry, Aziza Mustafa Zadeh, Everything but the Girl, Marcus Miller, Kazumi Watanabe, Lee Ritenour, The Rippingtons, Bobby McFerrin, among others.

Pino Daniele (born 19 March 1955) is an Italian vocalist, composer, and musician,^[1] whose influences cover a wide number of genres, fusing pop, blues, jazz, Italian and Middle eastern music into his own unique brand of world music.

Biography[link]

Graduating in accounting, Pino began his musical career in the band "Batracomiomachia", then in 1976 he became the bass player with the Napoli Centrale, where he met James Senese. Later in 1976 Claudio Poggi, producer of EMI Italian, listened to a demo tape containing various original tracks by the then young Daniele, deciding to offer a deal with the label. Already mid-year, he recorded a 45-rpm vinyl containing the tracks "Che calore" (originally titled "Ca Calore", being his trademark Neapolitan dialect) and "Fortunato".

"Terra mia", his debut album of 1977 containing tracks from the previous single, demonstrates the singer's deep connection with the Neapolitan and Mediterranean traditions, both in the music and in the lyrics, which sometimes cover songs and popular customs typically Neapolitan. Among the most successful tracks of the album are without doubt "Terra mia", but particularly "Na tazzullella 'e cafè" (A small cup of coffee), highly played by Renzo Arbore on his show "Alto gradimento" (High satisfaction) and "Napule è" (Naples is…), which in time would become a true manifesto for the author (who wrote it at just 18 years of age) and for the entire city of Naples.

James Senese would go on to significantly contribute towards the production of the next three albums: "Pino Daniele" (1979), "Nero a metà" (1980) and "Vai mò" (1981). He was influenced by rock music, by the jazz of Louis Armstrong, by George Benson and especially by blues music, creating a synthesis of extremely diverse musical and linguistic elements, with a personal, all the while controlled, streak to the composition.

In 1981 the artist held a big concert in Piazza del Plebiscito at Naples, fetching a crowd of 200,000, accompanied by a completely Neapolitan formation of collaborators, both old and new (Tullio De Piscopo, Joe Amoruso, Rino Zurzolo, Tony Esposito, James Senese), that in the same year participated in the album "Vai mò" (another milestone in Daniele's career). In this context the so called "Neapolitan Power" is defined, marked his artistic innovation within the tradition of the Campania region, with predominant references to rock, blues, funk and jazz.

His passion for the most varied musical genres (ranging from Elvis Presley to Roberto Murolo) gives him the opportunity to create a new musical style of his own named "taramblù", to indicate the fusion of tarantella and blues, considered emblems of the respective home cultures.
