Overview
Unplugged is a soulful and intimate live recording by Török Ádám, one of the most iconic figures in Hungarian progressive rock and blues. Best known as the leader of the band MINI, Török is celebrated for his unique flute-playing style and his ability to bridge the gap between hard rock, jazz, and blues.
This 1995 concert at the Globe Royal showcases Török’s music in a refined, acoustic setting. The tracklist is a curated selection of "Mini ballads," evergreens, and R.A.B.B. songs, stripped down to their melodic core. The collaboration with the "Branch" ensemble—and the addition of guitar legend Tátrai Tibor on the final tracks—creates a sophisticated, jazz-tinged atmosphere that highlights Török’s technical mastery of the flute. This CD is a mirror of a long and successful career, containing the artist's personal favorite compositions.
