Jazz
Sibel Köse Quartet
The inimitable Sibel Köse, dubbed ‘the Queen of European Jazz’, is a vocalist of consummate professionalism and outstanding talent. Last time I saw Sibel perform at the Nardis Jazz Club, I said the following in my blog: ‘Over the three-and-a-bit years since I last had the privilege of hearing her, nothing of her energy has been lost: if anything, her singing is more powerful than ever. She hits the high notes with tremendous force and faultless intonation; she improvises creatively with nonsense words even more frequently than before, fashioning them into meaningful episodes within the song as a whole; and her emotional range remains unrivalled within my experience of jazz singers. All this is mixed in with both a searing sincerity and a wry sense of humour. How could anyone fail to enjoy and appreciate her artistry?’
The other members of her quartet are Engin Recepoğulları (tenor saxophone), Kürşad Deniz (piano) and Kağan Yıldız (double bass).
