About the Album

A homorous parody album consisting of Hakan’s arrangements born out of years of improvising. Classical tunes jazzified, jazz tunes classicized, sometimes both Turkified! The album is partly solo piano, with one piece played on the harpsichord. On the second half of the album, Hakan is accompanied by Aykut Sütoğlu on clarinet, Vedat Dinletir on zurna, Bilal Kızıllar on kanun, Tolga Karaslan on ud, Mehmet Sönmez on doublebass, İsmail Darıcı on Turkish and Latin percussion, Hakan Çetinkaya on drums, Gürkan Özkan on tabla and Golden Horn Brass (Ömer Dağaşan and Enes Nalkıran: trumpets, Begüm Gökmen: French horn, Burak Dursun: trombone, Ertan Şahin: tuba).
