Ahmet Ertegün is the creator of the passionate period of 'black music'. Ertegün, whose father was an ambassador, was one of the first Turkish people in America. From the day he founded Atlantic Records in 1947, he discovered the talents that would guide the music understanding of the world. Ray Charles, The Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, The Bee Gees, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton and Cher. Karsu will tell the journey of Ertegün by music; Turkish tastes and today's jazz tunes will bring life back to the most exclusive artifacts.

Karsu, who won the Jazzism Edison Audience Award in 2016, performed in the most respected stages of the world. She grew up in Holland and learned Turkish music and values there.
