Ilhan Ersahin's Istanbul Sessions

Hear this show now: Pop-up listen Pop-up player! | Add or read comments


The acclaimed New York based Turkish-rooted saxophonist, record producer and club owner (NuBlu) Ilhan Ersahin brings in his Turkish / international jazz / improv combo Istanbul Sessions for a Jersey City session live on WFMU.

Named as a nod to the improv / jam sessions that are a staple of Istanbul's lively jazz scene, Istanbul Sessions is a supergroup featuring some of Turkey's most in-demand studio musicians and pop star accompanists.

The radio show is a tune-up for their big gig at Central Park Summerstage on Sunday afternoon July 3 as part of the ambitious multi-artist multi-genre Turkish concert, Istanbulive II. (They'll also warm up for Summerstage with a show at Joe's Pub on June 29.)

Big thanks to Ernie I. for mixing and Jeff M. for assisting!

Listener comments!

  6:57pm Mitten John:

Sounding good here in the warm and sunny mitten state, Rob!
  6:59pm Your DJ:

Thank you Mitten John! Hope you enjoy the live set, a little off the usual thing for my show as stylistically it's pretty straight up jazz/improv - should be nice though, coming up soon...
  7:00pm seang:

I'm gonna check these guys out on Wednesday
  7:00pm julian:

Sounding good here in wet and cloudy Japan too, Rob!
  7:04pm Mitten John:

Looking forward to it, Rob. Many years of marvelous free jazz listening in my past.
  8:31pm mark:

GET IN GHANA MY SON!
  8:37pm Your DJ:

I have to confess, I was rooting for the US but I always root for the African squads so it was pretty gut-wrenching! With Uruguay ahead, they have a real shot to make the quarters - should be interesting...
  8:58pm mark:

its a shame Essien is injured otherwise I'd think they'd have an outside chance
