1am Ilhan Ersahin: Jazz Musician in New York

About 1am Ilhan Ersahin

1am Ilhan Ersahin is a New York–based jazz musician whose late-night sets are closely tied to Nublu’s after-hours culture. Raised between Sweden and Turkey, he has worked in the city since 1990 and often builds projects around shifting ensembles rather than fixed bands. Onstage he has collaborated with players such as Yusuke Yamamoto and Gintas Janusonis, favoring attentive interplay and open-ended forms. His performances lean toward texture and pulse over spectacle.
