Hüseyin Ertunç

perc, dr, vib, fl, TR
Musician of Jazz

For AT HUSEYiN'S LP with Phill Musra & Michael Cosmic... "Rare music from a legendary trio – one who cut two studio albums in the 70s, and reunited for this smoking live date in the early 90s! The lineup is heavy on percussion from Huseyn Ertunc – and from both Phil Musra and Michael Cosmic – although both of those players handle plenty of reeds as well – making for a performance that's really incredible – as the musicians shift effortlessly between instruments, often with this sense of urgency to find new expressions – a creative free play that almost takes us back to the early days of the AACM! Cosmic also plays a bit of haunting organ – and titles include "Creation" and "I Love You God" – both as spiritual as they sound!" FOR TRIO with Okay Temiz... "1st time ever that two of the most legendary figures from the Turkish jazz scene (Okay & Ertunc) play/rec. together, so really an historic event ! classic pn trio + some more ethnic/otherworldly moments. special front cover artwork by Huseyin, who's an acclaimed painter (he designed also the old Intex front covers...), especially in his own country."
