Blending the depth of Turkish modal music (makam), jazz's freedom of expression, and the infinity of improvisation, three virtuosos of the contemporary Turkish music scene create a sound universe that is both deeply rooted and intercultural.
This is a world music project that brings together three instruments from three different musical cultures. Developed collectively by EVRIM DEMIREL, ANIL ŞALLIEL, and FURKAN BILGI, this work presents a unique narrative that combines the improvisational language of jazz with the traditional sound of Anatolia.

Evrim Demirel Composer and jazz pianist, known for her productions that bridge contemporary music, jazz and traditional elements.
Anıl Şallıel One of Turkey's leading jazz saxophonists; combining the melodic richness of Anatolia with modern improvisation.
Furkan Bilgi A kemenche master with a creative and innovative musical approach that takes her playing beyond the traditional.
