ISTANBUL SESSIONS w/ Alp Ersönmez, Turgut Alp Bekoğlu, İzzet Kızıl

by Ilhan Ersahin, Istanbul Sessions

supported by

xpatofthemind Out of all Ilhan Ersahin's projects, the Istanbul Sessions series are my favorite. Alp Ersonmez's bass and keyboard work, Turgut Alp Bekoglu's drum kit and Izzet Kizil's darbuka and other percussion put driving wheels under every track. Their latest studio release is polished and powerful, with Ersahin alternating between strong, simple horn work and soaring solos. As with all their earlier releases, this album is a tasty middle Eastern take on world jazz fusion.

about

Ilhan Ersahin New York, New York

In the most simple and direct terms, Ilhan Ersahin can be described as a saxophone instrumentalist, composer, music producer, club owner, jazz festival curator, and proprietor of his own record label. Broad as that may sound, it does little to explain who Ersahin truly is and what defines him as a musician. ... more
