Take a little bit from the Balkans (Turkey, Greece, Macedonia) and a little bit from California, mix it up. This is the foundation of Deli Kanlı. What began as a project years ago to explore the music of the Balkans region has found new life years later. Certain elements, like the driving rhythms and alluring melodies remain the same, but the character of the exploration has changed from discovery to innovation. Deli Kanlı (“Crazy Blood”) features Gregory Masaki Jenkins on clarinet, Calvin Lai on clarinet, Alex Pasternak on stand up bass, and Sean Tergis on percussion.
