Burhan Ocal: Turkish multi-instrumentalist and singer plays various percussion, tambourine, the saz (a string instrument related to the bouzouki) and sings.
In recent years, there has been a trend in world music to take traditional genres and mix them up a bit with other styles of music, e.g., jazz or electronica. This album is a very successful part of that trend. I think the potential listener should take the title of this album very seriously. I will provide some explanation of the instruments in case you are as ignorant as I am about music from the Turkish tradition.
Let me run down who is playing first:
Jamaaladeen Tacuma, the great bassist who first came to note (at least, for me) as a member of Ornette Coleman's Prime Time.
There are some additional musicians but the above are the main ones. You should be able to get an idea of what this music will be like if you imagine classical Turkish musicians providing the basic rhythmic and harmonic structure with funky and very free Philly jazz guys soloing all the while being recorded with Euro-pop values. Very cool. Odd meters expressed by superb drummers with obbligato and solos by Americans and Turks who can do nothing but play wonderfully. Burge and Ocal play together like some powerful soulful rhythm machine. Tacuma is one of the greatest bass players alive and one of the few who is truly capable of playing it as a lead instrument as well as a rhythm instrument. Walrath is wonderful on this album. His playing has made me want to search out CDs under his own name.
For me the vocals are the weak part of the album. They are the part of the CD most under the influence of the Euro-pop production aesthetic I mentioned. I could have done without them but perhaps that judgment is just an expression of my own aesthetic limitations. The first reviewer obviously enjoys them and I bought this CD because I had a good feeling about his review. And I am glad I did. Give this CD a chance to get under your ears. This type and quality of musical collaboration is hopefully one of the directions that music will continue to develop in
