Description:
Contemporary folk and jazz fusion from Eastern Europe, Musicians: Dresch Dudas Mihaly - soprano sax cymbalom, bass clarinet, tenor sax Lajko Felix - violin Benko Robert - double-bass Geroly Tamas - percussion Dudas Mihaly Dresch is also a member of the folk ensemble Csik. 'One of the most individual, definitive and exemplary representatives of the Hungarian jazz world. As Garbarek with the Eastern European, and Coltrane with the African music traditions, thus Dresch has taken elements of the authentic traditional music of Transylvania into jazz. His music doesn't work with, it lives on the traditional culture, and consciously speaks for the heritage hidden there. The folk posture which is built into his music gives him a foundation, which offers a secure basis from which he takes flight in jazz and improvisation. His recordings which are primarily instrumental in character, do not simply paraphrase traditional melodies, but the texts can also be heard. His music is enveloping, personal and intimate; strength and faith radiate from it. His work is known the world over. On an international level, he is placed amongst the finest musicians.

About the Artist:
Mihály Dresch (born 1955 in Budapest) is a Hungarian saxophone player, and one of the most interesting jazz- and folk musicians in the current Budapest scene. Specifically his merge of the American free-jazz tradition with elements of traditional Hungarian folk leads to inspired, unexpected pieces of modern music. (see also: Music of Hungary)
Dresch was studying to become an engineer when he turned to jazz. He was member of the Károly Binder Quartet. Having founded his first quartet as leader in 1984, the legacy of John Coltrane’s music can be recognised as one of the main sources of inspiration. The recent lineup (István Baló - drums, Ferenc Kovács - violin, Miklós Lukács - dulcimer, Mátyás Szandai - double bass) exists since 1998. During the years Dresch and his musicians have played and recorded with such artists as John Tchicai, Archie Shepp, Roscoe Mitchell, Chico Freeman, David Murray, and Dewey Redman. The project with Archie Shepp led to the Hungarian Bebop recording of 2002, on which Shepp plays Dresch’s original material. He has performed at jazz festivals worldwide, such as the London Jazz Festival.
In addition to this, Dresch is a permanent of György Szabados’ band, the MAKUZ Ensemble. Szabados is generally considered to be the Hungarian leader of free music.
