Virtuoso oud player and composer Mehmet Polat returns with his quartet to present music from his latest albums. Bringing together outstanding jazz musicians, Polat creates an innovative musical language that bridges traditions from East and West. His original compositions combine lyrical melodies, adventurous improvisations, and infectious grooves, moving effortlessly between familiar rhythms and intricate odd time signatures. The result is a distinctive sound rooted in musical traditions from around the world, yet infused with the freedom and spontaneity of contemporary jazz. Recently acclaimed performances at the Bimhuis in Amsterdam and LantarenVenster in Rotterdam have further established the quartet as one of the most exciting ensembles on the European jazz scene. We are delighted to welcome them to the Greene Room.
