A bit of blues here, a bit of rock there, and maybe even a little jazzy improvization, with numerous inspirations from Raum 610 is a celebration of friendship and music that combines the prog-rock bandsound of the 70s with 21st-century contemporary jazz in a playful and highly collaborative way. The music incorporates theatrical elements, written and improvised sections.
Başak Yavuz is one of Turkey’s leading jazz figures. The international projects she developed and performed illustrate cross-cultural exchange and communication; her music is eclectic, heartfelt, and has just the right amount of biting honesty. Her songwriting covers the full range of human experience and always tells a compelling story.m the folk music of various cultures, and the never absent, albeit not always conscious Turkish modes and vaguely reminisced melodies.
