Description
Since 2008 they have set fire to stages all across the world : from New York to Istanbul, from Paris to Sao Paolo, from London to Skopje.. Their electrifying, genre-crossing performance posed questions: Is this really jazz Doesn't this sound like a rock band? Where does their sound come from? It's master-level musicianship meeting high eclecticism where the cliché of "east-to-west crossover" finds it's true sense and power. A session is a meeting of a deliberative body to conduct it's business. In this case, the business is music, and the music is another heavyweight offering from Ilhan and his crew. Above all, the Istanbul Sessions can aptly be described as cinematic.Their debut (2009) had French trumpeter Erik Truffaz as guest. "Night Rider", their second release (2012) reflected perfectly their genuine sound in-between dance music and free-form-jazz flavoured by some ethnic spices. Their third (2015) "Istanbul Underground" was a perfect summary of night life of never-sleeping metropolis : Istanbul (it' was also reviewed as their best studio production so far).Yet, they are getting ready to hit their forth studio album "Solar Plexus" in 2017; by having young genie Dave Harrington (the other half of "Darkside" with Nicolas Jaar) on co-producer seat, Arto Tuncboyaciyan, Nils-Petter Molvær, Mauro Refosco, Kenny Wollesen, Erik Truffaz and Brandon Lewis as special guests, promising to take 21st century music into another eclectic direction where no border or atmosphere can limit the power of the creativity.01 - OVERTURE SOLAR PLEXUS 2:4002 - FAREWELL TO EARTH 4:4703 - INFINITE GATHERING 5:2904 - PRIS 11:2005 - RACHAEL & RICK 3:4706 - JUPITER WINDOW 4:5007 - MOON DANCE 5:1708 - LOVE IN SPACE 5:5209 - SEA OF STARS 3:3510 - ARRIVAL 2:31
