Back in 2010 thinking of hearing Ibrahim Maalouf at the ICA - the Lebanese-French trumpeter wasn't much known then. But catching him for the first time it was clear there was already a buzz. The crowd had a clear inkling that there was something in the air.

Fast forward a dozen years and he has long since become a major international touring star and released lots of records mostly way beyond an essential jazz audience's radar. Certainly his mournful tone is unmistakable and Maalouf possesses the ability to vault from one genre to another and to build audiences in many different quarters whether from jazz, electronic, Arabic music or more mainstream pop areas and still remaining credible and relevant through the humane filter that he adds to all his work.

There are a lot of famous names here jostling for position and Capacity to Love is the sort of album that appeals to fans of other people as much as Maalouf.

Gregory Porter, De La Soul, even Sharon Stone, featuring the actress' lesser known poetic side and Erick The Architect are some of the stellar names featured.

Snippets of Charlie Chaplin’s speech from The Great Dictator which opens the album has never been more relevant in a climate where the far right are as deranged as ever and it isn't as if we haven't already been warned - a message that Maalouf so movingly underlines. The track most relevant to a jazz listenership is the title track featuring Gregory Porter and equates with his clubbier crossover work with Disclosure here given a stirring Levantine twist.

Out on 4 November
