Ilhan Ersahin Ilhan Ersahin's Istanbul Sessions - Solar Plexus

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 Doesnt this sound like a rock band? Where does their sound come†from? Its master-level musicianship meeting high eclecticism where the†clichÈ of east-to-west crossover finds its true sense and power. A†session is a meeting of a deliberative body to conduct its 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†MolvÊr, 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.
