NOKIA OVI MÜZİK PRESENTS: NUBLU JAZZ FESTİVAL 2011

For those who haven’t heard of İstanbul Sessions project, take the advise and comments of the prestigious UK jazz magazine Jazzwise: “Ersahin's Istanbul Sessions, proceeded to show a seen-it-all-before crowd of European Jazz festival promoters, club owners and media just how you can excite and grab a new audience by the scruff of its neck without compromising the integrity of the music, or intensity of improvisation. Swedish/Turkish musician Ilhan Erşahin, has conjured a highly distinctive new sound that connects the dense modal funk of Miles Davis' Agartha group with the dervish whirl of Turkish and middle-eastern melodies and spikes it with a potent shot of dub electronics.
