Every once in a while I tell myself I need to learn to play the saxophone, still, to this day, it has not happened. It's Valentines day, and as the world wakes up to roses, chocolates and cheesy tunes, I woke up with this music in my head.
Ihlan is now more of a new yorker than a turkish musician, with the nublu collective(also a NYC jazz bar) they have produced some really good records of jazz with "around the world music" influence. This tune is from Istanbul sessions, where you get a lot of turkish influence on a more elegant, classic jazz backbone. A lovely album that on this track has the colaboration of the great Erik Truffaz on the trumpet.
Stay a while and listen...
