The last evening of Small Is Beautiful, and we’re closing the series with a trio.

At Hansaring 94 on December 11, Volkan Karaçay brings his saz, and with Opek on drums and Duy Luong on bass, Anatolian sound worlds meet jazz. Grounded in a classical saz education, Karaçay has stepped out of the tradition into contemporary composition, shaped not least by his encounter with his later master, Üstad Erkan Oğur. Improvisation and a feel for the moment give the music its emotional pull.

After releasing two solo EPs, he’s now working on his debut album, which will be released on vinyl. Really looking forward to this one, so be sure to stop by early!
