Any one of us may have transcended time by listening to a familiar tune with eyes wide shut, being all ears and sucked into the melody; we may almost have become the melody, warm and intimate, like bosom friends.. Cenk Erdoğan studied jazz composition with prominent Turkish musicians during his university studies; at the same time he studied classical Turkish music and fretless guitar. He adapted a special technique used on Turkish instruments bağlama and tanbur to fretless guitar and his studies combining jazz harmonizations with traditional melodies drew the attention of prominant overseas musicians. In 2004 Erdoğan was invited to conduct fretless guitar workshops in Berklee College of Music and Queens College of Music. The Trio’s albums “ile”, “Kavis” and “Kara Kutu” was published by Baykus Music
