Called “a nimble guitarist and a scintillating composer” by the New York Times, Timuçin Şahin releases “Funk Poems for Bird” on November 4 on Panoramic/New Focus Recordings and Kalan Müzik. With his band Flow State, Şahin presents a homage to Charlie Parker that is described in the notes as participating “in a tradition of musicians who grapple with Parker’s influence, tease out the strands of his DNA, and conjure his verve into the idiom of the now.”
