cd cover Erkan Ogur
Fretless
$16.99

The fretless guitarist performs music from Turkey that breaks the rules, skirts the boundaries of folk and jazz. Accompanied by Philip Catherine (guitars), Bulent Ortacgil (guitars) and Arto Tuncboyaciyan (percussion), with the help of The Yarkin percussion ensemble, and others.

"Everybody should do some music, every creature and every material has the music inside, it's its energy; music is actually very easy, there's nothing to it, and everybody should search for his own." - Erkan Ogur

"Hence the listener can fully appreciate the extraordinary sound of the instrument and the unique improvising style of Erkan: an excellent antidote to the long-standing postcard image of Turkish music given by hundreds of "belly-dance" records..." - Francesco Martinelli, RootsWorld

Please note!
Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
