about

All the music on 'Grand Bizarre' was composed and arranged by Jonny Hepbir in late 1999 and released independently in early 2000.

In 2002 the album was picked up by U.S.A label Refined Records, re-branded and released worldwide as 'Turkish Blend'. This version was minus three tracks to conform with the label's timings lengths on their other releases.

The album was originally conceived as a 'concept' style collection of tunes inspired by a life-changing week in the city of Istanbul in Turkey in 1997.

Combining elements of Gypsy Jazz, classical and world music, Grand Bizarre takes the listener on a winding journey through the bars and cafes of ancient Taksim, down the side streets into some strange clubs during the small hours and back out into the light.

This is the first time the album has been available in it's entirety since 2001 and features contributions by renowned Gypsy Jazz guitarist Robin Nolan, Romanian violin maestro Baz Stanescu and double bassist Dan Sheppard from the Jonny Hepbir Trio & Quartet.
