Sahin is happy to be performing his music with Tyshawn Sorey on drums and Thomas Morgan on bass and this trio will feature John O'Gallegher on alto sax for the first time.
Timucin Sahin has been recognized as one of today's truly unique voices of contemporary jazz music by publications such as San Francisco Bay Guardian, All About Jazz, Jazzwise and JazzTimes as well as by many others.
His unique sound on fretless electric guitar and his emotional content in his composing made him non-comparable and his music almost impossible to categorize.

“For Turkish guitarist Timucin Sahin, jazz merely serves as a name for a set of conventions he embroiders with forward-looking compositions, improvisation, and timbres on his new record Window for My Breath. Filtered through the kaleidoscopic vision of Sahin and his crack band, bassist Kai Eckhardt and drummer Owen Hart Jr., the pieces effortlessly move between meters and textures, dropping in polyrhytms before swinging or conjuring the avant-funk of Victor Wooten without any of the feel-good virtuosity pills. They touch upon raga and reggae over occasional bursts of ambient computer noises that blurp, bleep, and awe." --Alex K. Fong, San Francisco Bay Guardian February 2006
