This is the name of a double cd set of early recordings from Istanbul, as you can probably read for yourself, and by early I mean the first part of the Twentieth Century. And it's magical. How could it fail to be with a name like that? I have only recently come across Honest Jon's record label but I have a few more cds from the company on my Amazon wish list. Highly recommended. I would struggle to describe the music except to say that it's made up of 'whatever musicians and instrumentalists filed through the makeshift recording studios on the day' (to paraphrase the liner notes). Even my wife enjoyed it and she is notoriously difficult to please.
