Turkish Folk Jazz by Okay Temiz Trio, released on Sonet in 1975.
Inconstant Sol wrote:
"In my opinion it is the best record of Okay Temiz due to the fact that the music doesn’t fall too much in some kind of « world cliché ». The reason of this successful cross-cultural meeting is perhaps because it have been recorded live."
Vibrations Of The Day by KonstruKt, Marshall Allen, Hüseyin Ertunç, Barlas Tan Özemek, released on Re:konstruKt in 2011
Ken Waxman wrote for Jazzword in a contemporary review:
"...Vibrations of the Day moves the 87-year-old saxophonist into unfamiliar territory, geographically if not sonically. Although there are also three percussionists and another saxophonist present – along with two guitarists – the six members of KonstruKt are all Turkish with the album recorded in Istanbul. Not only was KonstruKt founded in 2008 to play and record improvised music, but the players, while experienced, are also anywhere from one-half to one-third of Allen’s age. Such is the universal quality of Free Music however, that Allen’s interaction with the six advances without even a sonic hiccup."

Tonight, I’ll be a guest with the ensemble Hoca Nasreddin for an intimate house concert in Cihangir Istanbul – perhaps my favorite setting of all.
This is what makes me tick: being part of so many different musical adventures. Excited for what’s to come tonight!

Thrilled to be back on the road in Turkey. After 3 concerts in Istanbul I am heading out on a long tour through deep Anatolia, traveling close to the borders of Georgia and Syria. With a three-day stop in Gaziantep I’m excited to spend time in the culinary heart of Turkey.
As always, Turkey calls not just for music and friendship, but for a full celebration of the senses.
