Label - X-Produkcio, Hungary

Hungary.
From record label:
"Dresch found his calling on the narrow trail between jazz and Hungarian folk music in an extraordinary way; or more precisely – it is he who blazed that trail. He didn’t choose the more fashionable fray of ’world music’, instead, like real, live reeds in the marsh he bends and sways between the two traditions – hence the title of this live concert recording.
Tradition only says something when it’s alive, otherwise it becomes objects in museums which can only be seen in glass cases. The music of
Dresch’s band is tough; it withstands the blows of time. Through his choice of
instruments, Dresch brings alive that which can be summoned form the past, massive roots taking in vital energy, rusting those ’reeds’ with an original, fresh, rolling sound.
This music cuts, the improvisation scratches, making fresh wounds, always new personal ones.
Mihály Dresch, as he says, always plays his own experiences, which is why it’s personal and so individual, so alive. Perhaps it’s strange that this is his gorup’s first distinctly concert recording, when we know that they live in concert, rather than in the
sutdio."
György Szerbhorváth
'Sometime
I’d like to have a band with double bass, cimbalom, saxophone, drum. We
wouldn’t play folk music, we’d play Hungarian jazz.'
