Rising jazz guitarist/composer Sinan Bakir made a name for himself in today’s music scene with his unique, creative, and exciting approach on the guitar. This Turkish-born guitarist is striving for a fresh and clean sound and has a highly energetic playing style. He is hailed not only as a virtuoso player, but also a masterful composer by his peers. Bakir’s fresh sounding tunes are an amalgam of rock & jazz stylings and driven by strong melodies deriving from the rich Turkish tradition combined with modern jazz harmonies. His all original albums, “On My Way” (2009) and recently released “Tales & Stories” with Warren Byrd, Thomson Kneeland and Mark Ferber received great reviews from many respected jazz publications and music critics and was featured in a variety of radio and TV programs. In addition to his weekly gig in West Hartford the guitarist is keeping busy playing at festivals and concerts in CT and NY.
