Ilhan Ersahin
Ilhan Ersahin is a Swedish–Turkish musician, composer, cultural activist and entrepreneur, raised in Stockholm and based in New York City since 1990. With a strategic entrepreneurial streak rare in a musician, he has helped shape the global spread of new music, jazz and its fusions.〔(NY Times Arts )〕 He has achieved this impact through positioning his creativity at the heart of what has become known as the Nublu aesthetic, creating a cultural space for not only himself, but also a generation of like-minded trans-cultural fellow musicians. As a musician, Ersahin has spread his sound and ideas through performing and recording with various musicians as well as his own projects/bands, Wax Poetic, (Love Trio ), (Our Theory ), (I Led Three Lives ), (Wonderland ) and (Istanbul Sessions ).
Most of those bands formed or sparked because of Nublu, the club he opened on Avenue C in Manhattan's Lower East Side in 2002. The club immediately became known as the last bastion of free-spirited, eclectic music-making on the Lower East Side, which was then on the cusp of intensive gentrification.〔(NY Times Local )〕 It became a hub for musicians and DJs, as it embraced the spirit of jazz improvisation, urban street music and original songwriting composition in an inclusionary way that became known as the "Nublu Sound."〔(Village Voice )〕 Being a club in Manhattan, the music of Africa, the Caribbean and Brazil also became part of the Nublu mix, and the club became well known for its Wednesday night Forro in the Dark Brazilian sessions. Key to the scene was the creator of (Conduction ), Butch Morris, long a downtown fixture. Ersahin became part of different Morris projects in the late 90s. When Nublu began, they devised a new project that would apply Morris's Conduction methods to the Nublu sensibility. The result was a new direction for Morris; within the context of (The Nublu Orchestra ) he began incorporating more beats and electronica into his sound. The ensemble became a big part of the club's identity.
The club's appeal as a haven for seriously creative and inventive musicians is evidenced by the list of artists who have either performed there, or simply popped by to participate in one of the club's legendary late-night jams. A label was a natural offshoot, and Nublu Records was founded in 2005 for the scene's very different collective of musicians. The Nublu club and label became the nucleus of another logical extension to Ersahin's boutique underground empire: live performance, particularly the development of festivals enabling a large number of musicians to meet and exchange ideas; and allows the Nublu sound to become known and develop a following internationally. The (Nublu Jazz Festival ) is a yearly event happening in NYC, Sao Paulo and Istanbul.
==Background==
Ersahin's family were not musicians, but Stockholm is a long-established jazz and music center and his elder brother and sisters brought home records that exposed him to the music of his generation, from rock to jazz to bossa nova and world music. When he was 14, Ersahin bought a reggae compilation album featuring the work of pioneering Jamaican DJ/toaster, U-Roy.〔(XLR8R )〕 The thrill of the sound confirmed his direction as a musician. This early passion led to Ersahin eventually recording with U Roy, on the Love Trio in Dub album.〔(Barnes and Noble, Love Trio in Dub )〕 Throughout his teens, Ersahin expanded his musical horizons, turning on to the more marginal sounds of punk, hiphop, reggae and dub.〔(Nublu )〕 As Ersahin began to teach himself to play saxophone in his teens, he knew that in order to accomplish his dreams, he had to come to America.〔(Time Out Istanbul )〕
