Hakan Başar 'Hub Art' Special Edition Single Release
Turkey’s Artful Living reports on the upcoming single release.
16-year-old pianist Hakan Başar announced his new single Hub Art Special Edition , which also includes Yellowjackets' legendary names Jimmy Haslip (bass) and Will Kennedy (drums) . It was also stated that the single, which will meet the audience with the Ubuntu Music label, will take place on digital platforms exactly one year after the launch of the young artist's first album On Top of The Roof .
Hakan Başar, who started playing the piano at the age of eight, then gave his first concert at the Pera Music Festival, attended the lectures of important names in jazz such as Chick Corea, Ron Carter and Eddie Gomez, and took part in various workshops. Having recently met with the audience at the 2019 London Jazz Festival, Başar is preparing to meet with music lovers again with his new single.
Hakan Başar made the following statement about his latest work:
“It is incredible and exciting to be in the same project with the two giant names of jazz that I watched in the Jeff Lorber 2010 promotional video when I was 10 years old. Ubuntu Music is my home. When I heard from Martin Hummel that this record will be released as a single after my first album, my joy and happiness doubled. Thanks Jimmy, Will and Martin! ” “The future is in the hands of young people, and while we do our best to encourage, inspire and guide those we surrender, we rest assured knowing that the future is in safe hands,”
Said Will Kennedy in his comments about the work:
Hakan's hands give us confidence for the future with the vitality and spirit behind him. "
