Glow is the name of the new duo CD of Dhafer Youssef and Wolfgang Muthspiel released on materialrecords.

"Glow describes the shared journey of two people who know each other well.

Not just taking stock, not a live document, neither a fleeting encounter nor a window into the working process of a long-time collaboration, but a sensitively crafted combination of the past, the present and the future, offering no end of room for associations to the listener."
(W.Kampmann)

Glow was voted into the Time Out jazz, folk and world albums of the year 2007.
