Alex Morsey and Christian Hammer have been playing together for a couple of years in different band projects starting with the organ band “Know what I mean?” and “The Dorf”.

Fethi Ak counts as one of the best darbuka players in Germany and is in the Turkish music scene a live and studio musician in great demand.

Dimitrij Markintantov met with the three musicians as he was standing in briefly for a sick accordionist in two performances. The Kiev-born saxophonist combines the melodic elements of the Balkans with modern jazz saxophone and a wonderful sound on alto- and soprano saxophone.

What developed immediately from this meeting was a personal and musical understanding which inspired a continued collaboration of the participants. On the program are original compositions as well as arrangements of classics from jazz and world music.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
