"The new album is an approach to my Turkish roots. From several hundred pieces, I then selected these five and arranged them."

The songs work with a poetic sound language dominated by melody and rhythm.

"I chose the songs for their melodies, but rhythmic finesse also plays a role," says Seifert. "Turkish music is dominated by odd time signatures, which is a real playground for a bass player in particular."

The Achim Seifert Project interprets the crooked bars with a smooth nonchalance that is easy on the ear, but also leaves room for improvisation - the musicians are well aware of the contextual background of the songs.

In addition to these songs, Seifert has also contributed three originals to the album, some of which were co-produced with his pianist Roman Rofalski.

The melodies are often carried by the saxophonist and clarinettist Leonard Huhn, whom some may know from the band Schmid's Huhn. Konrad Ullrich sits at the drums - a groove machine - which is very important for the music.

And completing the sound are flutist Sarpay Özcagatay and violinist Mona Burger, who add an extra dimension to the music.

How these songs merge with a western conception of jazz is of high delicacy.
