Enchanting and ornate - Ismail Fencioglu is a true master of Turkish music. He is a rare talent whose soaring vocals and fleet fingered oud playing conjure images of the Bosphorus at sunset and transport the listener to a different time and place. Together with Shtreiml, led by Jason Rosenblatt, one of the world’s premier harmonica players and an innovative composer of new Jewish music, the ensemble performs compelling original music rooted in the Jewish and Ottoman traditions, but brimming with hard rock sensibilities and dextrous improvisational know-how.
