Jazz Clubs Night: Ezgi Sevgi Can "Karanfiller"
Singer, clarinetist, composer, and songwriter Ezgi Sevgi Can, who lives between Istanbul and Paris, is one of the guests at the 36th Akbank Jazz Festival's Jazz Club Night events with her debut solo album, Karanfiller. Centering on the themes of loss, mourning, and remembrance, Karanfiller carries the traces of an inner journey stretching from mourning to life, hope, and rebirth. Can likes to navigate between genres in her compositions, combining jazz and blues influences with the traditional sounds of the Anatolian and Eastern Mediterranean regions in her vocal and clarinet performances. As an artist who views the production and sharing of music as a practice of resistance, healing, and liberation, she will perform originals from Karanfiller, as well as unique interpretations of the traditional tunes that have inspired her. Accompanied on stage by Elias Arapoglou on drums, Nicolas Fleury on double bass and electric bass, and Sylvain Dubert on guitar and qanun, Ezgi Sevgi Can will take the stage at Bova on the evening of October 6.
