Korhan Erel has been a part of Başak Yavuz‘s jazz quintet for a while now, playing with them on and off in Istanbul. Following their concert at Cafe Mitanni last month, the quintet will play a show on March 15 featuring Berlin-based reed player Frank Gratkowski at Nazım Hikmet Kültür Merkezi in Kadıköy, İstanbul. The concert will feature compositions from Yavuz’s album Things as well as some jazz standards and freely improvised sections. Music will start at 8.30pm and tickets can be bought at the venue, which is in a beautiful building located in one of the nicest areas of Istanbul’s Asian part.
