KONSTRUKT/PETER BROTZMANN/HUSEYIN ERTUNC/DOGAN DOGUSEL/BARLAS TAN OZEMEK - Eklisia Sunday

Edition of 350. "Eklisia Sunday was recorded live in front of a small audience on May 15th, 2011 at Eklisia - an old chapel built in the 17th century in G_ɬºm_ɬº_Ö__l_ɬºk, a small village near Bodrum. This improvisation features the Konstrukt collective - which is Korhan Futac_Ѭ± (tenor & soprano saxophones), Umut _ɂİa_Ñ__lar (electric guitar), _ɂÄìz_ɬºn Usta (double bass, djembe, gong, bells), Korhan Arg_ɬºden (drums) - incredibly enriched by the presence of Peter Br_ɬ_tzmann (on tenor), H_ɬºseyin Ertun_ɬß (acoustic piano, k_ɬºst_ɬºfon, gong), Do_Ñ__an Do_Ñ__usel (double bass, k_ɬºst_ɬºfon) and Barlas Tan _ɂÄìzemek (electric guitar). The result of the combination is simply marvelous, because Br_ɬ_tzmanns unique phrases perfectly match with the sound of what confirms to be a well-coordinated collective. "The Turkish free jazz outfit Konstrukt might be considered the most evolved improvisational band working in jazz today. Founded, not in the hotbeds of jazz, London, New York, Chicago, Wuppertal or Krakow, their isolation is the key to their success. Well, isolation and observation." - Mark Corroto, All About Jazz.
