A lazy Sunday afternoon, the missus is taking a siesta and I am on the internet looking for Music. What am I looking for? Jazz of course! And I found Sinan Bakir. Sinan is originally from Turkey and he came to the U.S. as a scholarship student to study Jazz. But methinks, he can teach his teachers a thing or two! I loved the tracks enough to go ahead and buy this chap’s album titled On My Way - and I am telling you, its money well spent (and well-deserved for Sinan!).
A short bio on his website has this to say,
“Sinan Bakir is one of the most unique and exciting young jazz guitarists in the scene today. The sound that Sinan is striving for described often as fresh, clean and lively yet intense and full with emotion. Sinan Bakir is hailed not only as a virtuoso player, but also a masterful composer.
His album “On My Way” with Thomson Kneeland and Mark Ferber is described by Richard Kamins of Hartford Courant as a solid debut.” It’s easy to put this music on and just let it play. One can hear the influences of Holdsworth, John Scofield and Bill Frisell but Bakir is no imitator. The voice of the guitar one hears on the opening cut never wavers or falters throughout.”
Dan Barry of Hartford Advocate describes Sinan’s playin’ as quietly elaborate, informed by a good sense of when to crescendo and when to lean back and let it rip. Dither Schmidth of Radio Resita tells that the album transforms a common day into a perfect day and calls it magical.”
One of the tracks from the album called Stop N’ Go is available for free download. Find it below. Also featured is a YouTube video where Sinan Bakir Trio performs live on a TV Show – they play the popular Jazz standard Autumn Leaves.
