Product Description

“...International award winning composer, Fahir Atakoglu is a much-esteemed composerand pianist in Europe and Turkey, in the fields of large symphonic works and film music. His works have also been performed in various music festivals in Europe and across The United States to much acclaim. This CD called “IF” marks an interesting departure for him. Instead of a ninety piece orchestra, his music here is performed by only three musicians, and what a fabulous trio it is! Fahir’s playing and his harmonic and original rhythmic sense in his compositions, electrifies the musical atmosphere throughout. The legendary bassist Anthony Jackson is superb as always, so is drum virtuoso, Grammy winner Horacio ‘El Negro’ Hernandez. Saxophonist Donny McCaslin plays beautifully on two numbers. The drumming that is Horacio’s “own”, together Anthony’s tone that has been his signature for nearly two decades, and the groups unique grooves of Turkish melodic and rhythmic motifs, makes this album a one of a kind collectors item, a must have…” ARIF MARDIN Producer, Composer, Arranger. This document is edited from the Album’s (CD-FH12005) notes.

Your ears and your heart will appreciate this album.......2005-08-24

What an amazing group of musicians!!! Fahir Atakoglu is a well-known musician in Europe, it was time for him to conquer the US music markets. This is one of those albums, you know, the rare ones that you keep playing for years and years. These musicians are simply genious people, and they know how to show this by touching your heart. Stop reading these comments and go and buy this album immediately. If you are like me, I know you will appreciate it.

alig .......2005-08-22

Having been recording in Europe & Turkey for over 20 years, Fahir is finally recording in the USA. Jackson and Hernadez are serious players, and have given Fahir the good exposure he deserves. Fahir's music has been a part of our lives, souls and dreams for years. Believe it or not, I was surprised to hear Fahir's music as the opening act at a wedding in Medellin, Colombia this August. This guy is an incredible talent. His music has an international appeal with the ability to reach people's hearts. Way to go Fahir!

Excellent !.......2005-08-20

...Wow!!! ; I have never heard this guy before but he sure can play his piano!!His melodies are amazing...His Turkish side really shows in the 3rd track Anadoluo. Fahir's comping on the left hand ,the pulse is so very very much in sync with the Drummer!that it gives listener an overwhelming pleasure and with Anthony Jackson the poly-rithm in all of the compositions are sooo original that I praise this album .. a very BIG AWESOME!!!
I believe pianists, bass players and drummers can "LEARN" a lot from this album!!
I am looking forward to hearing them live ;
you got a FAN!!

not too sure yet..........2005-07-21

...what to make of this record.
I just can't help it,but I feel that this album does not really breathe as well as it could.A lot of clustered left hand voicings from the piano may well be a contributing factor.That the rhythm playing feelsa little hectic (to me anyhow)is another point.And although there is a lot of soloing in the piano,as well as it may be executed,i feel that there is a lack of direction.as a bottom line i got to say,that the pianoplaying really does not touch me all that much.
The rhythm-section however really helps.The bass especially is highly dynamic.The use of the expression pedal much complements the overall picture.At times however gem-like moments in the bass department(of which there are MANY) are a little quiet against the piano.Mind you ,this is a PIANO TRIO record.As to the drums; i really enjoy what is going on there too.apropriately busy.
On the whole;i like this record, although I doubt it will become a favourite,as I am not sure the compositions are of the kind that makes me want to keep on listening through the whole album.One or two pieces at a time,yes,but perhaps not the whole cd.They do not make me alert in a way that some others do,as i miss a sense of clarity and concept(having said that,i have not spent all that much time with the cd as yet-affore mentioned reasons-)-this is of course mostly a taste issue.For rhythm section enthusiasts,and especially basspeople,this will be a very interesting disc to listen to.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent........2005-07-01

This album is excellent and brilliantly composed, but the first I've listened to from Chris Spheeris, so I cannot compare it to any others. Some of the other reviewers have deemed it background music, though, which is false and unfair to say. The listener will definately be able to capture the sounds of this album as much as in any other album of any genre. Definately one of my favorites. Definately worth listening to.

Radiant, sentimental music with a hint of an edge.......2004-01-01

The warm, touching side of Chris Spheeris takes center stage in this instrumental album, which seems to be a reorganized release of his earlier recording for Sony, "Desires of the Heart". Composer Spheeris is featured on keyboards and guitar, joined by David Peterson on oboe and English horn, and accompanied by Christopher Bock on light accoustic percussion, Darryl Wright on electric bass, and occasional recorded nature sounds. As with much of Spheeris' work, the selections on "Desires" don't fit neatly into any particular stylistic category. Accoustic and electronic instruments blend together seamlessly to create music that is emotive, heartfelt and approachable. Some pieces are pervaded by a subtle electronic ambience that lingers discreetly in the background, creating a relaxing, timeless atmosphere. Other selections are gently upbeat, bouyed by tasteful world percussion and moved forward by a progressive harmonic structure. All are pleasant and interesting, with good, appealing melodies and engagingly varied construction. Much of Spheeris' work on "Desires" reminds me of Yanni's style, and fans of one should enjoy the other too. Try "Reflections of Passion" by Yanni, and for a more intense musical journey, inspired by many world-music elements, check out Spheeris' "Dancing with the Muse".

Peace and serenity and upbeat.......2001-04-18

This CD is, as another put it, one of Chris' best. It is a wonderful listen whether walking, in prayer, or just relaxing. Chris, all of your works are wonderful -- this is just one of the very best.

A really lush selection of "goes-with-anything" music.......1999-09-23

I've got all of Chris Spheeris' albums and this one is my favorite. It's perfect for background music when working or at dinner. Very soothing and each track is rich and memorable.

A Very Nice Easy Listening CD.......1999-05-06

Chris Spheeris has always been a favorite of mine and this CD doesn't disappoint. There isn't one track I don't like since almost all of them have strong "hooks". Great for background music for dinner.

Silence please!.......2006-08-30

My only reason for buying this CD is the track 4:33 by Frank Zappa. 4:33 minutes of total silence, well almost total silence because you can hear a little background noices in the control room of Frank. It is a very interesting cd. But if you are not a fan of Zappa or Cage, and you like to hear music I say: buy something else. If you are ready for an experiment: buy this one or the CD Roaratorio.

Georgia Stone the best antiwar composition to date.......2002-12-15

The whole collection is interesting. However, the great moment of this collection is the Ono contribution Georgia Stone. It's a fluxus symphony. Never have I heard a more poignant antiwar piece. It rates in power and beauty to Henryk Gorecki's Symphony #3 with soprano Dawn Upshaw. If anyone ever doubted the genius of Yoko Ono as being relevant and an artist of the highest calibre then listen to this masterpiece and you'll be jolted into her energy as an artist. Yoko, give us more of this kind of music.

unknown..but i'm real excited.......2001-06-05

Jspark wrote a review that totally grabbed my intrest..I did my senior art history project on John Cage..using random sheets of paper for the lecture. the idea of hitting the "random button" is a great idea..and the idea of running two disks at once is even neater..being a big fan of just about everybody on the cd..especially Laurie Anderson doesnt hurt either... I haven't heard it yet, but i think i'll be sticking with the 5 star rating.

What? 183 tracks? What for? There is a reason..........1999-08-03

It might be bewildering at first. The first disc has 98 tracks; the second, 85. If you listen straight through, you do not perceive any discontinuity. A collection of John Cage pieces performed by friends, collegues, and admirers. Frank Zappa (American composer [complete biographical blurb that he provided]) contributed 4'33". Laurie Anderson tells a few Merce Cunningham tales. Seems like a fun tribute from the git-go. But wait! (And this is where the fun begins!) Switch your CD player to the shuffle (random) mode. Now look what happens. It goes from, say, Yoko Ono's piece to the Kronos to the Moraz prepared piano performance to Ken Nordine's narration - all in the matter of seconds. It is a great to homage to Cage himself with the great use of the random chance operations that he might have enjoyed. Every performance of this disc becomes a unique experience (just like Cage). For even more fun, try playing both discs at the same time (provided, of course, you have the means; if not, improvise). Or add another sound source as well, like, say, the radio, or the television very low, or a tape of white noise. The possibilities are endless. I had the pleasure of trying this one day with FOUR players going on simulataneously: two with these discs, another with Miles Davis far in the background, the fourth with a disc of bird calls. It was quite a fun sound environment and I would not hesitate to try it again. But that was my experience. Your experience may be different.
