I had the chance to listen to the funk-jazz project of Ozan Erverdi and Tan Deliorman, The Kites<\/a>\u00a0who have been making music together since their childhood at Kundura Stage.<\/p>\n

We talked about the sound of the group that is rising from Istanbul, with Tan Deliorman over the phone.<\/p>\n

The energy of The Kites on stage was really high. The audience had the chance to listen to the song Tequila Sunset as the sun was going down.<\/p><\/div>\n

We Feel Close to Jazz<\/h6>\n

S: How would you describe your music to someone who never listened to you before?<\/p>\n

T: I do not know how to. I suppose I would say something like the mixture of funk, jazz, rock.<\/p>\n

S: These classifications are for sure compelling but you make an eclectic music. Does it also include psychedelic?<\/p>\n

T: Yes, sure, partly there are some old stuff. They come from back in the days, when we were growing with Ozan, things that come from the times we listened to Pink Floyd, Hendrix for example. But rather, we use jazz elements, our feeling is closer to jazz. We feel more \"jazzy\" playing differences of rock. Listeners feel that way as well.<\/p>\n
