Artist:Wax Poetic f/Norah Jones and Val
Song:Angels
Album:Wax Poetic
Norah Jones fans will be interested in this song she recorded before she was famous. Wax Poetic is led by Turkish born Ilhan Ersahin. He plays sax and keyboards and owns the New York nightclub Nublu. He was born in Turkey, grew up in Stockholm, Sweden and moved to New York in 1990. He has recorded under various names. Wax Poetic began in 1997 at an underground club called Save the Robots. Though Ersahin is a jazz musician, the 2000 album Wax Poetic was commercial enough that it was picked up for distribution by Atlantic Records. Today the album is of interest because Norah Jones appears on Angels. The guest rapper is Val Jeanety who appears on other Wax Poetic recordings. Ersahin played the sax solo. Ersahin brings in guest musicians. Angels is produced by Daniel Wyatt of the group Repercussions. Other musicians are Guyora Kats of Skinnerbox on keyboards, Marlin Browden on drums and Arto Tuncboyaciyan of The Paul Winter Consort on percussion. Other guest musicians include David Berkman on piano, Eddie Henderson on trumpet and Kurt Rosenwinkel on guitar. This album is available as a budget CD. After Norah became famous, Ersahin included Angels on the 2003 Wax Poetic album Nublu Sessions on the dance label Ultra. That's also when he produced the video. Norah does not appear in the video. That album is too expensive. Though he last recorded a Wax Poetic album in 2012, Ersahin still records on his own label under his own name and the Nublu Orchestra. It's mostly jazz but he experiments with different kinds of music. Here's the video for Angels by Wax Poetic featuring Norah Jones and Val.
