Selim Sesler

Sat 2 Jun
Barbican


Lovely swinging Turkish music, all tradition-based.
Sesler on clarinet, with darbuka, oud, kanun, violin. The CD Anatolian Wedding is delightful. See him in Crossing the Bridge - The Sound of Istanbul; read The Coltrane of the clarinet, Fiachra Gibbons' review in The Guardian.
