Babylon Bomonti will host American trumpet talent Theo Croker on Friday 14 October. Belgian DJ and producer Poldoore will follow with the midnight session. Set to start at 22:30, tickets are priced from 25 to 40 TL and available for Theo Croker (includes both) or just the midnight session.
From the organizer:
Theo Croker, praised by critics as one of the promising young generation trumpet players from the US, is also the representative of a special legacy by being the grandson of Grammy award-winning trumpet player Doc Cheatham. He is also a talented composer and singer, and does not hide his loyalty to the traditional jazz. His intellect and talent has gained him the appreciation of Wynton Marsalis, the living trumpet legend. During the seven years he spent in China before his professional career, he worked in the fusion/rock, R&B, hip-hop and blues genres to improve his jazz perception. After returning to the US, Theo Croker started working with the master jazz vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater. Until today, Croker has released three albums, all of which received positive comments and his last album was produced by Bridgewater. The young trumpet player, who rapidly increased the number of his followers by fusing traditional and modern jazz, represents today’s American jazz music.

Belgian DJ and producer Poldoore, who mostly uses hip hop and soul trip-hop at slow tempo, is described as “modest and honest”. Taking clues from the past’s countless examples of electronic music, he produces different melodies and sounds with a light texture, and makes substantial use of jazz. Poldoore, who has produced successful works and released many albums, does not hesitate to use acoustic instruments such as guitar and trumpet in the smooth musical ambience that he has created.
