The average age of Alaturka's
audience at the Jazz Winterlude festival in January was about 65. I
heard the phrase "Turkish jazz" bandied about with suspicion before the
band began playing and feared that outraged advocates of traditional
swing would walk out during the first selection. I underestimated both
the audience's willingness to accept new sounds and the persuasive
virtuosity of the members of Alaturka.
