Okay Temiz - After Peace (Baristan Sonra)

Turkish cosmic jazz beauty with the master Okay Temiz. Haunting!

From the LP 𝘋𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪́𝘴 (originally released in 1989)

"Through its very philosophy, 𝘋𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪́𝘴 is a musical creation that shuns individuality while embracing collective harmony (..). Okay Temiz sometimes uses technology such as the talking drum and pyramid while at other times he turns to instruments that have been around for a thousand years like the berimbau and gong. In therms of the geography of jazz, the album is situated in both the east and the west, just like the city of Istanbul which inspired it."

Haluk Damar, from the liner notes of the 2018 reissue on Ada Müzik.
