A Turkish drummer has had a lifelong ambition to visit America to study

> venture
> he has joined 'Abdul Ahmed's Club Date Band,' which specializes in
> Turkish
> folk music and is much renowned in the circuit of well-paid society
> gigs.
>
> After saving up enough money he leaves the band and moves to New York
> where he takes private lessons from his favorite drummers, Steve Gadd
> and
> Elvin Jones.
>
> After two years of hard study and penniless, he returns to Turkey,
> where
> necessity once again forces him to join the famous Abdul Ahmed. Eager

> show off his recently acquired jazz licks, the drummer crams every
> available
> space in the arrangements with fills and breaks of astonishing
> complexity,
> displaying all of his breath-taking technique.
>
> After enduring an hour of deafening pyrotechnics, Abdul Ahmed
> approaches the drummer during the intermission and takes him to one
> side.

Really great! Forgive my uninitiated western ears but are they playing in a format outside of 12 tones or is it just the advant garde element at times?

[TwoTubMan]

Back in the 70's, there used to be a teenage kid who played at The Bacchanal Restaurant on Westheimer in Houston who was the Hendrix/Mclaughlin of the Bouzouki. Anyone know who he was, or what became of him?

OPA!!!

interesting ensemble as i normally see a bouzouki player, a dude with a les paul playing bass lines and a clarinet player..the drummer has been replaced with a drum machine...

Octave is subdivided into smaller intervals then in Western equal temperament 12 tone.

he's awesome Ed - thx for the tip! - on my youtube rotation list now!

anyone near Philly who likes this stuff would enjoy Animus.
Bill Koutsouros is a killer bouzouki player.

are more oud and focused on the dancing, but he is WAY better at bouzouki ... Dimeola level chops, also on guitar.

they play the Phila Art Museum Friday Nov 7
sometimes the reknowned free jazz local legend Elliot Levin sits in on flute and sax.
