Fikret Erenyol and Saper Şahbaz have been working with Aydın Esen for 2 years and they know each other from the sessions with Esen. They both played with various bands of various genres in the past, but their first project together was Plongeur Quartet. With Plongeur Quartet, they played in a lot of clubs including Istanbul Jazz Center. They also gave a concert with Plongeur Quartet in Istanbul Jazz Festival's Tunel Fest on the main stage. The quartet disbanded since Fikret and drummer Uğur Küpeli went abroad. 

Now Fikret is back in town and they decided to set up a new band i.e. forced by Esen to form a band. The duo's musical vision is totally based on experimenting and inventing. They oppose all the stereotypes and also all kinds of "music which is not music". The band is planning to make an album under the supervision of AE. 

Fikret Erenyol studied jazz in New Orleans with scholarship; worked with some of the best names in jazz community. However he decided that traditional jazz was not his thing and even world's, so he came back to Turkey. He is now looking forward to study modern jazz in Europe. In the mean time he continues to work with Aydın Esen.

Saper Şahbaz kept working with Aydın Esen on contemporary music and he still does. He also studies MMus.-composition in MIAM. 
Saper is not even in his mid twenties.
Fikret is not even twenty years old.
Thanks for stopping by...
