[FA Worldmusic] Turkish Music

Sat Jan 27 22:19:10 EST 2007

I enjoy cross-pollinating recordings so I mentioned the Brahem Trio
recording.  I haven't enjoyed Barbaros' solo recordings so much but
perhaps with time, I will. He is a superb player.

And yes,  "classical musician who performs Ottoman and Turkish
 repertoire " is a better phrased description of Necati's style. He
also grew up playing the Mevlevi rituals and recently played a Sufi
concert in the SF Bay Area.

Thanks Ates.
