blacksea

The album is successful not only for being a very well executed and nicely interpreted jazz album but also for not missing the spirit amidst clean-cut-musicianship (which i consider as a common problem with this kind of jazzy Turkish folk albums). It’s an “oriental” album, not an “orientalist” one and I thought they’ve captured the authentic aroma of the Black-Sea culture and the sentimental ups and downs of its people perfectly.
