KONSTRUKT (TUR) (Free jazz / Avant-Garde)  feat. Michael Zerang (US)

Konstrukt is a group of Turkish musicians based in Istanbul, whose music is a pungent mix of free jazz, scraps of the blues, and traditional music, criss-crossing seamlessly between these genres never sounding self-conscious or derivative.

 There are many elements that make up Konstrukt’s very individual style.

Michael Zerang
A self-described “Chicago-born Assyrian percussionist”, Michael Zerang’s list of collaborators is a virtual compendium of the Windy City’s free jazz/improv community, including saxophonists Fred Anderson and Ken Vandermark, cellist Fred Longberg-Holm, drummer Hamid Drake, and bassist Kent Kessler, among others.

There’s the sound of Miles Davis’ electric period: echo effects and music that seems to float, with no clear beginning, middle or end. The influence of Sun Ra, in Çağlar’s b-movie electric organ and micro-moog, which have a distinctive timbre reminiscent of the slightly cheesy keyboards favoured by Sun Ra.
