Opis albumu

>>> Wieksza okladka A <<<

More than likely, while the name Kálmán Oláh is new for most jazz enthusiasts, he is probably the most popular jazz pianist in Hungary today. I was introduced to his music a few years ago thru some fine recordings produced by a Korean company called Good International (There website is in Korean only: www.goodco.co.kr. e-mail them at: [zasłonięte]@goodco.co.kr ) that MA in Japan has been distributing since around the year 2000. The first of these recordings was a double CD set of J. S. Bach`s Goldberg Variations, with arrangements for string orchestra, played here by the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra, as well as piano/bass jazz improvisations, with Kálmán on piano and Mini Schulz (from Germany) on bass. What is perhaps most interesting about this recording is that there is one jazz improvistion for every few string orchestra variations. And, the jazz is really first rate!

"Good" also released the string orchestra version, without the jazz duets, but never saw the potential, I suppose, in putting out the jazz duets on their own. I strongly felt that Kálmán`s music had to be heard by jazz lovers, not just classical fans, the above mentioned recording essentially promoted only as a classical album. So, I decided to do something about this, did a little searching on the internet and successfully made contact with Kálmán some time in late 2000. I immediately proposed that he do a jazz trio version of the Goldberg, only later introducing my ideas about Hungarian folk music.

After some years of discussion (and waiting) the recording date was finally set for the early summer of 2003. We moved one of the best Hamburg Steinways available in Hungary (borrowed from Hungaraton Studios) into a small, modern church in the suburbs of Budapest and recorded the album over a period of three evenings. Kálmán is joined by his brother-in-law János Egri on bass and the young, and now quite well known drummer, Ferenc Németh (please go to: www.ferencnemeth.com ). While it has taken about three years for the production to be completed and presentable, I think that the musical rewards are many and of certainly hope you do as well.

As for the technical aspects of the recording, "Contrasts + Parallels" was recorded on a Sony 7030 Professional DAT machine with MA's own line level, DC powered microphones (utilizing B & K diaphragms) . One 12 meter pair of Cardas cables were used from the microphones to the recorder. (Todd Garfinkle, MA Recordgins)
