'...The sound is so natural, so spontaneous, so free! Their love of traditional music and improvisational jazz is fully

 '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.'"
