as a saxophonist and composer/songwriter, ilhan ersahin has grown into one of the most creative and adventurous artists of the contemporary jazz and electronic scene in the last ten years. influenced primarily by american jazz, ersahin has also absorbed the essence of reggae, hip-hop, electronic, pop and middle eastern folk music. the profound impact of these diverse influences is clearly evident in his musical expressions and on his various albums and projects. 'harikalar diyari' (its name in turkish) or 'wonderland' is a beautiful project, a true mix of new york city and istanbul. it blends the sounds of new york's nublu/live-tronic sound with the sounds of turkish gypsies. it's not another mishmash of 'ethnic music' with dj beats but a true statement. the three great musicians from istanbul are the great clarinetist husnu senlenderici , percussionist mehmet akatay and the kanun player nuri lekesizgoz. they are all gypsies and are the true pulse of the streets of istanbul. they are world-class virtuosos. the other four members of this band; ilhan ersahin, thor madsen, matt penman and jochen rueckert; are all nyc players and nublu musicians.
