Sinan Bakir "Exciting young jazz guiarist" October 17, 2009

Sinan Bakir

Sinan Bakir is one of the most unique and exciting young jazz guiarists 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.

CDs will be available after the concert. For more info please visit www.sinanbakir.com
