Hüsnü Şenlendirici is a Turkish clarinettist, born 12 July 1976, in Bergama.

Şenlendirici combines the melodies of his Anatolian heritage (particularly his Aegean homeland’s musical traditions) with the jazz sensibilities of the west. He has worked with major stars internationally and domestically including Turkish stars Athena, Kibariye and Mercan Dede amongst others.

Şenlendirici has his own band, Laço Tayfa, which collaborated with the famous American ensemble, Brooklyn Funk Essentials, to record the album, In the Buzzbag. Şenlendirici made two other albums with the band, Bergama Gaydasi and Hicaz Dolap, before releasing a solo album, The Joy of the Clarinet. Read more on Last.fm.
