Jazz and Turkish Music
 

Hey,
are any of you into Dave Brubeck?
I find that his Rondo a la Turk is interesting for adding a modified Turkish 9/8 pattern into a jazz song.

I found the original Turkish pattern(dokuz sekiz), played specifically in Karşılama and Roman Havası styles.

(I can't add URLs as I'm a new user...:banghead:)

I love Brubeck. Definitely my favourite jazz artist. Blue Rondo a la Turk is especially interesting, because the standard 9/8 time signature is counted 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3, whereas Brubeck's is 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2-3.

You might enjoy things from the Bosporus Bridges album, or Hava Narghile.





They are both a 1970's compilation.

Also, bit more instrumental but you might like 21 Peron.

I love this.
