Ilhan Ersahin, Dave Harrington, Kenny Wollesen | "Invite Your Eye"

The record really encapsulates the feeling of late night jazz; an after hours jam session between close collaborators and friends that unfolds with almost telepathic effortlessness. And though it may appear as though this album is the result of improvisation, it is in fact a mixture of studio based compositions with raw improvisation taken apart and reconstructed with dubbing and editing. Producer and musician Dave Harrington says "It was the first project I really threw myself into when I first moved to Los Angeles and so was informed in large part by my first experiences here, my nostalgia for New York, and also the imagined Los Angeles of the mind that I try to live in: a place where the psychedelic can be both inspiring and sinister, and where possibility and reality are in constant competition and conversation."

With drummer Kenny Wollesen (Tom Waits, John Zorn, Norah Jones) and Dave Harrington (of electronic duo Darkside) guitar/bass/electronics, New York-based Swedish/Turkish saxophonist, composer, club-label owner Ilhan Ersahin captures the vibe of impromptu, cross-pollinating, and heavily grooving late-night jam sessions at Nublu, his “East Village Club where everything goes” (New York Times).

The telepathy and intuition that flows between these three musicians is one that has developed over many years of playing together in different combinations, and on a permanent regular basis at NYC's Nublu, searching and creating together in the moment. What they have come up with has evolved steadily over that time and its current form can be heard to brilliant effect on their new album "Invite Your Eye" which is due out on March 4th following three advance singles.

The exploratory instrumental space-jazz these gentlemen purvey has many antecedents and influences but perhaps it's best not to cite names and instead let the music speak for itself. This sound and approach comes as naturally to them as breathing, hence the album title which is also the title of the first single.

"Invite Your Eye" and "Even As You Smile" are the other two teasers set to follow right after the title track before the album as a whole arrives to provide a fuller picture of the magic these three sonic wizards have in store for you.
