Last week I had the good fortune to stumble into these guys. I originally wanted to go that night to see a group called “The Balkan Messengers.” Days later, I re-checked the site and “Nedim Nalbantoğlu & Neshko Neshev” were listed. I was considerably less excited, because the gig had switched from a whole band to a duo. Nevertheless I made my way to the venue, Haymatlos, after coming late to the weekly jam at another cool spot, Kooperatif. “Everybody’s at Haymatlos,” they told me.

So here we are. Epic Turkish/Jazz/Balkan/Insane fusions on violin and accordion. I’m pretty sure this is some of the most awesome music I’ve heard in my life. Hope you enjoy. I’ll post more in coming weeks.
