Bassist / Composer / Arranger Alper Yılmaz is back with a brilliant follow up to his critically acclaimed albums titled “Clashes" (2007) and “Over the Clouds” (2010). The new release is titled “Different City, Different Mood" and features new compositions from the Turkish-born, Istanbul- and Brooklyn-based bassist. Yılmaz surrounds himself here with some of the top jazz artists of Istanbul, including Ercüment Orkut on piano and Volkan Öktem on the drums. While the album has a strong statement and sound framed around Yılmaz’s compositions and bass playing, each musician’s unique and versatile approach can be distinctly heard in “Different City, Different Mood” within a collective musical platform of free expression and improvisation.
