Mihály Borbély from Vujicsics Ensemble is also
well known in jazz music circles. Here he, along with some friends, joins
legendary flutist Herbie Mann on his project 'Eastern European Roots'.
'This is an astonishing musical document from a musician who is in no way associated with the rhythms and melodies of Eastern Europe.
Herbie Mann could have built a non-Jazz career on music of this quality and intriguing depth...
Highly recommended.' Lawrence Brazier JAZZNOW.COM
