Guys Talk

I was just zapping between tv-networks till I saw on the Turkish TRT two interesting men sitting on a terrace-garden talking together, very easily about music. I had never seen this on Dutch television: two guys talking about music. About how they made music, but more also about how they experienced it. They were not ordinary guys but renowned Turkish musicians. One was Kerem Gorsev, a jazz pianist from Istanbul. The other guy was Burhan Ocal, a percussionist, who was also the host of the talkshow.

What made me just watch them and stop zapping was this fascinating chemics between these two guys. Once again, I had never seen this on Dutch tv, it was new to me..Both of the men were hyperactive, or probably it always seems like that with Turkish people talking. Turkish language is a very fast language and when people are enthousiastic about their own work they talk even faster. The smile on the face of Kerem Gorsev was contagious, I kept smiling at him while he was chatting with his fellow musician. Him, Burhan Ocal, was more the type of Lyle Lovett, he looked very interesting.

What made the interview very fascinating was how they talked to each other, their interaction with each other. The best moment was when Kerem Gorsev, the jazz pianist, told about his new production which would be released in 2011. He explained why it would take so long, which is (according to me) very normal for cd's. But the reaction of the tv-host was GORGEOUS.. He said: I have to finish my cd by the end of this year. The producer is waiting for it, but I really don't know how to manage this.. And while he was saying this, you could see him really worrying. How his guest, Kerem Gorsev, reacted, I really don't know.. because I was still thinking about this worrying tv-host...

But to me this was GREAT TV! These guys were having a wonderful conversation together and by now and then they forgot the cameras were on. For me, as a girl, it was the first time I could witness an ordinary 'guys talk'. Beautiful!! If it's going to be on youtube, I will definitely let you know. Because everybody should see it.
