Sevda is a unique fusion of Turkish music and Swedish jazz, which grooves naturally in exotic time signatures (like 7/8 and 9/4), blending textures, rhythms and swinging improvisations into an exciting whole. It was recorded live at a TV studio, and at the time nobody had any idea it would be issued as a record. On drums is the great Okay Temiz, who also played with Don Cherry for some time (as well as did Maffy Falay).

  1. the perfect link between onxidlib´s upload of the bernt rosengren quartet and the temiz-dyani lp from a few days ago.
    it is a mono-LP, but it burns!

  5. Intriguing, this one, with a strong Turkish flavour, as could be expected. And in glorious mono!

  6. I've been listening a lot to this one and liking it the more I listen. There is a potential theme here we might explore more - namely "jazzified" folk music or traditional music. I'm planning to go deeper into it in coming posts.

    Great series of Swedish rare grooves you've got going. About to DL them all in the next coming weeks (as I'm currently sitting on a slow connection, which is a drag)
