Description

Evren Ozan is a 13 year old contemporary Native American flute musician whose compositions are heard on his CDs, radio, independent films and in concert. He was six when he discovered the native flute on a cross-country road trip. At the first stop, the Grand Canyon, Evren went straight to the native instruments counter and picked out a cedar flute. He paid for it with all of his trip allowance and has been playing native flutes ever since.

Since then, Evren has performed extensively throughout the US and in Alaska, England, Germany and Belgium. His first album, Images of Winter, was recorded when he was 7, and won "Rising Star" from the Native American Music Awards. His second album, As Things Could Be, was recorded when he was 9, and won the same award. He has appeared in numerous national and international journals, including National Geographic's WORLD, appeared on television and heard on several independent films. He has an active performance schedule at galleries, concert halls, environmental and charitable events, schools, museums and festivals. Evren has studied with BerkleeMusic and was named a Davidson Fellow in Music in 2005.

ALLUVIA was reviewed by Bill Binkelman of New Age Reporter, who wrote: "....Native American flutist Evren Ozan continues to evolve his music, this time.. slimming down production somewhat in favor of a leaner more contemporary jazz fusion, mixing uptempo workouts laced with funky beats (and occasionally introducing world beat elements or overt Native American textures) along with a few quieter introspective pieces....His adroit flute work is still amply in evidence (and, maybe even moreso than on the last CD)....While some of the tracks are plenty energizing, there are also shadings of mystery and darkness filtered in amongst the toe-tapping rhythms and melodies (there's even a quasi-ambient closer, 'Shavasanah'). Evoking comparisons to no less than Shadowfax at times (e.g., 'An Ephemeral Dream') this young man, joined by another great crew of accompanists, displays talent and artistry so far beyond his years that conspiracy nuts may be tempted to investigate whether it's the person pictured on his website who is recording this masterful music (trust me, it's really him)....The soulful jazz riffing and rhythms of 'The Climb' (I love that thumping bass and organ -- shades of Herbie Mann!) or the pan-African joy of 'Alpenglow'.... ALLUVIA comes highly recommended indeed!"
