# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Mehmet Polat Quartet at Baladin Stage, Zanzibar, TZ
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Feb, 2026 at 07:45 pm
- **Event Description**: Mehmet Polat Quartet – Roots in Motion

Renowned ud (oud) player and composer Mehmet Polat brings together three exceptional talents from the jazz and world music scene in his latest project: the Mehmet Polat Quartet. The line-up features:

Mehmet Polat – ud & compositions
Franz von Chossy – piano
Jeroen Batterink – drums
Daniel van Huffelen – double bass

Together, the quartet explores a distinctive blend of jazz and global musical traditions, continuing Polat’s journey through musical crossovers that are deeply contemplative, emotionally rich, and rhythmically complex.
The ensemble's compositions are rooted in diverse traditions, shaped by experimentation and artistic curiosity. Venturing beyond standard time signatures, the music weaves through odd meters like 5/4, 7/4, and 9/8—rhythms common in non-Western cultures. A deep, grounded pulse from bass and drums supports the soaring melodic dialogue between ud and piano. Each musician brings a unique voice, creating a collective sound that transcends genre and geography.
