Jazz Culture In Ankara
Turkey-based Slugs Jazz Band perform during a Jazz night in Ankara, Turkey on November 28, 2018. Turkey's relationship with the Jazz musical genre is multi-faceted combining with light western music and eastern melodies. With its improvisational prowess, its malleability and capacity to assimilate new rhythmic and harmonic textures, Turkey's traditional music is one of exceptional collaborative appeal for Jazz. However, the potential has never reached to the top since the beginning. Nowadays, the Jazz culture is shaping around small jazz nights with local bands for numbered listeners.
