About

The Joy of Clarinet is a 2005 album of famous clarinetist and trumpetis from Istanbul, Hüsnü Şenlendirici. The album was released by Doublemoon Records. Brought to Turkey from Europe, the clarinet’s expressive qualities soon found a home amongst classical and gypsy musicians. Playing snaking eastern melodies with lavish ornamentation or wild improvisations against complex drummed rhythms and with a sound so close to the human voice, the clarinet has become a much-loved part of Turkish musical culture. The clarinet on this CD is no less than the voice of one of Turkey’s great musicians Hüsnü Şenlendirici, and is at the same time his dear friend and his passion.

According to Senlendirici: "This is music that, long before we started to use the word chillout, soothed troubled gypsy souls in the twilight with its plaintive song; this is music that expresses hopes and yearnings; this is music that today fills the evening streets of old Istanbul with its evocative and enticing sounds.
