'...The sound is so
natural, so spontaneous, so free! Their love of traditional music and
improvisational jazz is fully
demonstrated in a vast repertoire of complimentary arrangements...'
Erika Borsos
The well known cimbalom artist Kálmán Balogh's playing is colourful with
a unique technique, and a good sense of humour. He is
accompanied by some excellent musician friends.
The name of Kálmán Balogh is widely known and recognised by those
interested in the music played on cimbalom. The greatest value of his
music is his ability to mix the different styles with taste
knowing no musical, formal or technical barriers.

and Comments on this CD |
'Synergistic Jazz in Synch with
Traditional
Village Sounds.'
by Erika Borsos
Sometimes a torrential hurricane, sometimes a smooth-flowing river: the
multiple jazz styles rendered on this CD meld the traditional music of the
past with the speed of modern life. Echoes of ancient melodies are
constantly reflected in the colorful musical mirror created by these
highly talented musicians.
Hungarian, Romanian, 40's style jazz, and Balkan Brass sounds combine with
village traditions to create a sound that is somewhat familiar . . . yet
astonishingly fresh and new. Each and every selection on this CD showcases
the extraordinary talents of these musical artists. The sound is so
natural, so spontaneous, so free! Their love of traditional music and
improvisational jazz is fully
demonstrated in a vast repertoire of complimentary arrangements. Anyone
who appreciates Hungarian, Transylvanian, and Balkan music will find this
CD produces that natural "endorphin rush" they crave. After
listening to it once, you will determine, 'I must have it.'"
