Nublu

Nublu is a unique club and record label from the cultural epicenter of New York City, the East Village. It was opened in 2002 by Swedish-Turkish saxophone player, composer, bandleader and entrepreneur, Ilhan Ersahin. On its 10th anniversary the club’s namesake festival was able to showcase the loose collective of bands whose eclectic aesthetic, reflecting Ersahin’s own, has come to be known as the Nublu Sound, a mix of improvisational jazz with African, South American, Caribbean, electronic and dance sounds.
