Djanan Turan Band at EFG London Jazz Festival

Djanan Turan Band - EFG London Jazz Festival Sun 23 November 2025 Stage time / 8:30pm Doors / 8:00pm Location: Jamboree, 6 St Chads Place, Kings Cross WC1X 9HH Her relationship with the EFG London Jazz Festival most recently took shape in November 2025, when Turan performed with her band at Jamboree in King’s Cross as part of the festival’s Celebrating the Jazz Clubs programme. The performance featured Turan alongside Alice Mary Jelaska on clarinet, Berdin Pamukcu on guitar, and Matt King Smith on bass. The appearance reflected the increasingly expansive musical territory occupied by contemporary jazz and its surrounding communities. Turan’s work sits comfortably within that landscape without being confined by conventional genre boundaries: Turkish folk melodies and vocal traditions meet atmospheric guitar, synth textures, rhythmic experimentation, and the spontaneity of live ensemble performance. For Turan, this approach is part of a much longer artistic journey. Turan’s live history
