"Lumanovski and Senlendirici proved spectacular players who had listened hard to Coltrane and Dolphy -- especially Lumanovski, his sound very soprano sax, lots of burr and flutter and overtone."
-Robert Christgau, Salon
The All-Stars showcases some of NY's finest musicians including Ismail Lumanovski on Clarinet Tamer Pinarbasi on kunun, Panogiotis Andreu from Greece on bass; Seido Salifoski from Macedonia on percussion/darbouka, and Engin Gunaydin for Turkey on drums, who have performed with such world music icons as Bulgarian masters Ivo Popasov and Yuri Yanakov. The group is the brainchild of Serdar Ilhan, producer of the New York Gypsy Festival, which offers a broad perspective on various styles of Gypsy music and dance against the backdrop of New York City which, being the crossroads of many cultures, is essentially Gypsy at heart.
