Kamil Erdem (b)
Bassist, composer, educator on mainstream jazz, fusion and cross-over disciplines. Kamil Erdem made his career mainly through his works and performances inspired by the scales and rhythms of the music of the Balkans, Anatolia and the Middle East. However, mainstream jazz has also been one of his primary interests, both as a player and teacher.
Erdem founded the group Asiaminor in 1990, which has given him access to the international music scene for more than 10 years. As the leader of the band he toured several times in Europe (1990-2002) and the USA (1996,1998,2003) and released three albums, Along the Street (1991), Longa Nova (1996), and Catâs Dream (1997).
In 2001 Kamil Erdem released his solo bass album, A Tale of Bass, where his own impressions of different traditional musics have been transformed into virtuosic techniques and compositions for solo bass guitar. Since 2002, he has been conducting workshops and master-classes on solo bass guitar performance techniques and playing solo bass recitals in Turkey and abroad.
Kamilâs versatility as a musician brought him to many international projects to play together with musicians from all over the world, coming from different musical genres. His collaboration with European musicians ended up in two albums, the âKamil Erdem Quartet â Odd Tangoâ in 2008 and the âKamil Erdem â RenĂ© Sopa Quartetâ in 2010. Tonights repertoire will consist of tribute to Paul Chambers.

Signal to Noise, Francesco Martinelli â Italy
ââŠ.. warm-toned, richly ornamental style alternately recalls Kenny Burrell and Larry Coryell, swung tastefully and insistentlyâŠ.â
Bill Milkowski â Jazz Times, USA
ââŠ. Ănder Focan who proves to be an interesting guitar player with a very mellow tone as well as a cleverer than usual composers.â
Marge Hofacreâs Jazz News â USA
ââŠ. Ănder Focan et ses harmonies metheniennes subtilement decalees.â
Jazz Hot, Pascal Kober â France
â⊠I knew of course Ănder Focan for some of his many musical enterprises but his Pera Trio (a reference to the historical Istanbul area) shows yet another facet of his personality, inspired by masters of jazz guitar from Jim Hall to Pat Metheny.â
