UPC 5999883044339

The trio was founded at the end of 2017 at the initiative of guitarist Roland Heidrich, who first started playing in separate duos with Csaba Pengő and Zsolt Sárvári Kovács. But, having known them better, the opportunity for a long-awaited drum - bass - guitar trio soon started glimmering. During the past year’s work they have created a common voice that soon will be available on disc as well. Crudity of experimental rock, refined textures of “Northern jazz” as well as the exciting world of free improvisation all appear in the trio’s music. Roland’s themes provide the framework for a common adventure, where the classical trio setting gets to display in a broad variety.

After having played in different formations with double-bassist Csaba Pengő and drummer Zsolt Sárvári Kovács, Roland initiated to start playing as a trio in 2017. During the time spent together as a trio, they soon found their common ground and developed their own voice. As a result “The Abstract” recorded its first album “Where are we going?” at the end of 2018. The trio plays Rolands compositions, that mix jazz, rock, avantgarde and free music in a special way.

The compositions serve as a canvas for some elementary raw- and lyric expressions, besides other, more unexpected twists and turns. Crudity of experimental rock, refined textures of “northern jazz” as well as the exciting world of free improvisation all appear in their music. The themes that could be easily called “songs”, provide the framework for an adventure, where the classical trio setting gets to display in a broad variety.
