The Sinan Bakir Trio performs originals, standards, 1950s & 60s jazz and beyond. We perform as an instrumental trio as well as with a female vocalist. We've performed at private events for Governors Mansion, Hartford Golf Club, Union Leaugue, Cantor&Colburn Lawfirm, JCJ Architecture and many other high profile parties and weddings.
We have varied versions of the group for the events.
Guitar and acoustic bass or piano duo, guitar trio with drums or quartet adding trumpet or saxophone, and on occasion, vocals.
All the members are full-time professionals.
Sinan Bakir is one of the most unique and exciting young jazz guitarists. The sound that Sinan is striving for described often as fresh, clean and lively yet intense and full with emotion. Sinan Bakir is hailed not only as a virtuoso player, but also a masterful composer. His album "On My Way" with Thomson Kneeland and Mark Ferber is described by Richard Kamins of Hartford Courant as a solid debut." It's easy to put this music on and just let it play. One can hear the influences of Holdsworth, John Scofield and Bill Frisell but Bakir is no imitator. The voice of the guitar one hears on the opening cut never wavers or falters throughout." Dan Barry of Hartford Advocate describes Sinan's playin' as quietly elaborate, informed by a good sense of when to crescendo and when to lean back and let it rip. Dither Schmidth of Radio Resita tells that the album transforms a common day into a perfect day and calls it magical.
Sinan had many TV & Radio appearences such as Comcast's TV series “Up and Coming”, “Accent on Jazz” at WWUH, Fox News and had international airplay from Canada through Europe. Notable festival appearances include Hartford International Jazz Festival and New Haven International Arts & Ideas Festival.
