CD ‘Odd Tango‘
Kamil Erdem Quartet
A crossover of Ottoman and Western musical traditions, featuring soloists from both Istanbul and the Netherlands. Mark Lotz participated as co-initiator and composer, blending these diverse musical worlds.
“In the title piece Turkisch melismatisms are melting together with jazzy exploration impulse into a wonderful Tango.” (Volkskrant, Netherlands)
“Bit by bit this piece of work is growing into a rock of intruiging actual music. Who knows maybe even ‘the’ jazz of the twentyfirst century.” (Mazzmuzika, Belgium)
