Jonathan ('Jonny') Hepbir
boldly blends European swing with influences from his Anglo-Turkish
roots, leading listeners on a musical odyssey from Istanbul's
Grand Bazaar to Paris' boulevard de Saint-Germain to London's
Soho District and back. One of the more unique gypsy jazz guitarists
in England today, Jonny crosses geographic and cultural borders
in ten original instrumental compostitions aptly named Turkish
Blend. Joined by fellow guitar virtuoso and gypsy jazz innovator,
Robin Nolan, Jonny strikes a delicate
balance between contemporary harmonies and old-world rhythms with
the added touch of Baz Stanescu's poignant violin playing. Treat
you ears to Turkish Blend while enjoying your favorite coffee,
tea, pipe tobacco or literature.
