Okay Temiz Trio - Turkish Folk Jazz - Sonet 1975

In my opinion it is the best record of Okay Temiz due to the fact that the music doesn’t fall too much in some kind of « world cliché ». The reason of this successful cross-cultural meeting is perhaps because it have been recorded live.

Side a:

-Taksim

-Introduction, Batum, Ulah- Balkan.

Side b:

-Döktür, Kürt Havasi, Madimak, Üsküdar, Anadol Havasi, Trabzon Karsilamasi, Laz Havasi.

-bass: Björn Alke

-Clarinet: Saffet Gündeger

-Drums, percussions: Okay Temiz

All tracks except A1 & A2 are traditional Turkish folk music.

All tracks recorded March 25, 1974 in Stockholm except A1 recorded March 6, 1974 in Stockholm.
