With 2013’s “MOMENTS,” Dilek Sert Erdoğan released Turkey’s first original soul album. Throughout her career, she has been engaged in eye-catching musical collaborations both locally and internationally while scoring wins in competitions. She has had her hand in Jazzeeba On Air, a project colorfully combining soul, funk, rock, and jazz; the Deformation Turk Project, in which she performed jazz versions of beloved Turkish songs alongside Önder Focan; and Hayatımın Divası Ayten Alpman (Ayten Alpman: The Diva of My Life), which released new arrangements of Alpman’s song. As part of the 32nd Akbank Jazz Festival, she will be performing “Timeless Classics” with her band composed of Uraz Kıvaner, Ozan Musluoğlu, Sıtkı Sırtanadolu, and Erhan Seçkin. You can see them perform on September 30 at Gregor by the Badau.
