İlhan Erşahin is undoubtedly one of the most prominent talents of contemporary jazz music.
The creative and prolific saxophonist who likes merging different musical elements with the endless possibilities of jazz comes up with new sounds in each of his projects, receiving praise in music circles.
Erşahin now has two occasions to celebrate. The first is the 10th year of Nublu, the jazz club he owns in New York City. The second is the Turkish release of “Night Rider,” his second studio album, with İstanbul Sessions -- one the prolific musician’s numerous projects -- in which he teams up with Alp Ersönmez on bass, Turgut Alp Bekoğlu on drums and İzzel Kızıl on percussion.
In “Night Rider,” launched Thursday night with a party at İstanbul’s Babylon club, Erşahin depicts through his music the “rhythm of İstanbul nights.”
