GÁBOR GADÓ QUINTET
FEAT. VERONIKA HARCSA
This album, featuring Gábor Gadó, who is most often referred to as a jazz guitarist, and one of Hungary's greatest jazz singers, Veronika Harcsa, overrides our preconceived notions of music. The dialectic of composition and improvisation is resolved in a dialogue between contemporary classical musicians and jazz musicians, without a rhythm section. From the jazz side, two wind players – Belgian trumpeter Laurent Blondiau and the sound magician saxophonist János Ávéd – and from the classical side, two string players – Tamás Zétényi, a prominent cellist of the contemporary music scene, and Éva Csermák, a violinist living in Berlin – add defining colours to the character of the music. Both by animating the vocal line and as the author of the texts, Veronika Harcsa adds even more content to the translucent songs, in which not only the different musical parts but also elements of early and contemporary music are woven into an organic whole.
