From the organizer:
In the traditional Night Out with +1 event of the Istanbul Jazz Festival, we will once again stroll in the warmth of a Kadıköy evening, stretching into the cool of the night step by step in pursuit of good music. A myriad of thoughts and emotions, a wide range of music, and unique performances await us in one night at our stops Dorock XL, Moda Sahnesi, Kadıköy Cinema, Kadıköy Sahne, and The Wall.
We will witness an electronic punk experiment with Baby’s Berserk and explore hope and solace in the unique pop of Thomas Azier, drawn from European pop, jazz, and classical music genres. We will delve into the embrace of psychedelic folk and jazz-rock with Gevende, and experience a unique blend of psychedelia, rock, jazz, and lyrics fused with Anatolian influences in the music of Korhan Futacı. We will listen to the classical music and Turkish melodies blend of jazz by the Coşku Turhan Quartet, which brings American and Turkish music together across continents; will accompany the profound lyrics of Eve Dönüş Yok, who creates his own music with synth-pop and indie rock. We will draw strength from the rebellious tones rising from the guitar strings of Yangın; question our identities and sense of belonging with Min Taka, who has left a mark on stages in Turkey and Europe. Finally, we will join Brek in his “misty and atmospheric” music, and Telli Davul with its interpretation of Anatolian traditional music with psychedelic motifs
On Night Out with +1, we will close the 31st year of the festival navigating through parallel musical universes.
