By Batu Akyol:

“From Father to Ronnie” is live.
A clarinet lineage from Selim Sesler to Ramazan Sesler; a sound memory travelling from Drama to İbriktepe, from Tarlabaşı to Soho.
Before the Ronnie Scott’s concert, Batu Akyol with Ramazan Sesler and Kaan Biyikoglu about inheritance, listening on stage, music that cannot fully live on paper, and how a Thracian clarinet tradition finds its way into one of London’s most iconic jazz rooms.
This is not just a concert story.�It is a small record of migration, memory, friendship, and music finding its own route.

“Babadan Ronnie’ye” röportajı Türkçe olarak Jazz Dergisi’nde.

Batu Akyol imzalı, Ramazan Sesler’in Londra’daki efsanevi caz kulübü Ronnie Scott’s’ta verdiği muhteşem konser vesilesiyle hazırlanan ve ilk olarak İngilizce yayımlanan “From Father to Ronnie” başlıklı röportaj, şimdi “Babadan Ronnie’ye” adıyla jazzdergisi.com’nde.

Röportaj, Selim Sesler’den Ramazan Sesler’e aktarılan bir klarnet geleneğinin izini sürüyor; Drama’dan İbriktepe’ye, Tarlabaşı’ndan Londra’nın Soho semtine varan, bugün hâlâ yaşayan ve dönüşmeye devam eden bir müzik hafızasını anlatıyor.

Ronnie Scott’s konseri öncesinde Batu Akyol, Ramazan Sesler ve Kaan Bıyıkoğlu ile kültürel miras, sahnede birbirini dinlemek, notaya bütünüyle sığmayan müzik ve Trakya klarnet geleneğinin Londra’nın en ikonik caz sahnelerinden birine uzanan yolculuğu üzerine konuştu.

Bu yalnızca bir konser hikâyesi değil.
Göçün, hafızanın, dostluğun, kuşaktan kuşağa aktarımın ve müziğin kendi yolunu bulmasının bir kaydı.

⏺️ Tickets & info: link in bio and a38.hu

From Montreux Jazz Festival to Sónar Barcelona, CEM YILDIZ has performed at leading electronic and world music festivals across Europe and Türkiye, constantly reinventing his distinctive sound on stage.

With his electrified saz, hypnotic vocals, and electronic machines, the “modern-day shaman” pushes the boundaries of Anatolian folk music, transporting audiences into the vibrant soundscape of Istanbul.
