Kamucan Yalçın is a clarinetist and vocalist, who has over two decades of performance experience in jazz, rock, and related genres. In the project she has designed specifically for the 32nd Akbank Jazz Festival, she will take the stage with his long-time collaborator the guitarist Mehmet Mutlu. The two worked together for years under Yalçın’s project Karambola. In this new project, they have chosen to do what they love and tell the story of jazz music’s beginnings moving from the 1920s and 1930s to today with interpretations of jazz standards. The Kamucan Yalçın Duo will perform on October 2 at Postane Istanbul’s rooftop.
