Confusion is good sometimes. It’s a way to start thinking about whatever you are confused about. This is what Ilhan Ersahin’s Istanbul Sessions do since 2008. They managed to fire the stages all across the world: from New York to Istanbul, from Paris to Sao Paolo, from London to Skopje... Questions they spread all these years where like: are they really turkish? is this really jazz? doesn’t it sound like a rock band? how come a jazz ensemble can really be like a band? How can they be so able to jam with any musician they meet on stage? And so on...
It’s a simple fact Ilhan Ersahin, being one of the rare moguls of New York City underground scene via his club and record label (nublu), is traveling all around the world. It’s possible to see him jamming with Red Hot Chili Peppers in Sao Paolo, featuring Bugge Wesseltoft in Blue Note Tokyo and/or playing a beautiful oriental set with turkish gypsies in an elegant concert hall somewhere in Europe. His newyorker energy is with him all the time.
How about Istanbul Sessions then? It’s a summary of all you read above. Master level musicianship meets a high eclecticism where the cliché 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 long player from Ilhan Ersahin & crew.
Upon listening to the record for the first time, one word overrides every other emotion and devours the mind: Cinema.
More specifically, “cinematic.” Ersahin’s sax sounds like it was recorded in the fucking Alps. Or in the sweeping sand dunes and Oasis’s of the Middle East. It’s just that W I D E. On “Falling,” Ersahin’s sax is practically 3-dimensional. Double tracked and bathed in a healthy dose of reverb, the saxophone and rhythm of the band evoke a story-like narrative. From the mad-man trills strewn throughout the track, to the soaring, almost stadium anthem chorus. Clearly, it’s all about the (s)axe, and Ilhan Ersahin is YOUR axeman.
History has a tendency to repeat itself, and for the third time ‘round, East meets West once again. And the results are more satisfying than that mammoth inter-racial orgy you’re always fantasizing of. Through Ersahin’s playing, you can hear the ghostly echoes of dead, pre-war jazz greats behind his frenzy-inducing saxophone playing. You can also hear the Siren’s call, the brooding beauty of the shrouded mystery that is the Desert. Devilishly hot and bothered, the dry night air caresses your face, stirring a primal urge that excites as you step out into the glow of the Turkish metropolis. An Istanbul session, awaits.

“highly distinctive new sound that connects the dense modal funk of Miles Davis' Agartha group with middle-eastern melodies and spikes it with a potent shot of dub electronics.”

Delale - My Beauty (english translation) (kurdish below) 
Hey, your father's sheep herd is speckled my beauty
Rest your herd behind our house, come my beauty

Hey, alert me before you move the herd
A wound remains with me, don't leave my beauty.

Hey my beauty, rugged are these mountains they will not give passage
This world is a dark and cruel place, stay my beauty

Hey, this world is like a blink of an eye
All that remains is pain and death, don't leave my beauty

The tents are striped, they are striped my beauty
It is time for me, your admirer to feed his lambs, come my beauty

Hey, surely the lamb has come down to get fed
A wound remains with me, don't leave my beauty

Translation by Ali Yalçın

Sounds arose in me
I hear them all

They grow the seasons
cuz I'm breathing

It's all before the ocean
decided to love for
the new glory of freedom

Moonkid
Unknown body, breathing slowly

Lone, apart

-lyrics-

I'm feeling all in bittersweet
I used to feed a mounted swan
I walked away a million feet, I know
Now I'm lost
Modern fault

You said, ''come wonder with me''
I knew that I could be the one, too sad
What a life
we could live

Bittersweet (it's me)
All again (it's me)
Bittersweet (it's me)
All again (it's me)

It's me...

Album Dedication:
The first letter I ever wrote in life, around age 6, was for my grandparents. In this letter I thanked them both for their endless love and kindness and promised them that one day, I too would take care of them and make sure they were “in good hands”.

Around the time of my college graduation, my grandmother suddenly got very sick and I knew the time had come to deliver my promise. During the days of her struggle with cancer and my grandfather’s subsequent illness, triggered mainly by his sadness for witnessing her gradual decay, I was very fortunate I could be near them till the very end.

Today, in the 10th anniversary of the departure of both my grandparents from this world, I decided to dedicate this EP to their memory. The time I wrote my first letter for my grandparents happens to coincide with the time I started singing.  So, I consider this album a love letter of sorts. It consists of some of my grandmother’s favorite songs. Each time one of these songs appeared on TV or the radio, my grandmother would almost always sing along, hence the title of the album: “Songs for my Grandmother”.

Hereby I present you a new Kraut remix, interpretation!
I took the traditional song, Didou Nana by the amazing Kazim Koyuncu (1972 – 2005). The language of the song, Lazuri, is from the north eastern part of the Turkish Black Sea, close to Georgia. 
This is not an official remix, all the respect goes out to Kazim Koyuncu. May he rest in peace.
