Description :
| They have been making themselves scarce in Germany, the jazzers and rockers from Hungary. Of course, a man like guitarist Attila Zoller is a houshold name on the swinging scene. But apart from him, for Germany Hungary is practically synonymous with sad gipsy tune. But the country striding the Danube certainly has more to offer than just puszta and paprika. There’s also a fresh wind blowing from the East where fusion music is concerned. Till now the rock-jazz sounds most often heard come from Poland. We need only to mention the excellent formation ‚Laboratorium’ as representatives. Three years ago, however, Hungary appeard on the international fusion scene. BLUES FOR THE LAST PUNK jp 1026 was the title of a production, with which THINGS attracted some attention, and not only on account of the (deliberately) misleading title. Under the lead of TONY LAKATOS, a sexted of hitherto virtual nobodies mixed a both cheeky and original cocktail whose fizz appeard hardly surpassable. But appearance can be deceiving, and this was no exception. With their latest recording MOTHER NATURE the Hungarians surpassed themselves. While TONY LAKATOS & CO. Included unobtrusive reminiscenses of their native folklore in their first work, the current sequel is marked completely by Western influence. THINGS’ music draws ist strength mainly from TONLY LAKATOS’ dynamic sax lines. The bearded saxophone-player, who lives mainly in Munich and performs chiefly with local stars such as Toto Blanke, Kenny Wheeler, Michael Sagmeister, is also responsible for the compositions, together with guitarist ATTILA LASZLO, the second leader of the band. It is easy to hear that THINGS have been working together for years. Toop captivating is the filigreed transparency of the many-facetted arrangements. Their only new player is KALMAN OLAH (keyboard) – and, with his spectacular thumping of the keys, he follows wholeheartedly in his prodecessor’s, Zoltan Csanyi’s footsteps. The brilliand rhythm group with BELA LATTMANN (bass) JANOS SOLTI (drums) and KORNEL HORVATH (percussion) provides a soft, fluffy carpet, on which the three soloists can romp about to their hearts’ content. Yeah, and then here’s this lady called TORITA QUICK. THINGS are bridging the herring pond by including this American singer. In both her short takes the vocalist, still an art student in Munich, adds a light and sparkling flavor with her acrid, crystal-clear voice. |
