This is the second CD on Leo Records by the incredible new talent Szilard
Mezei from Serbia & Montenegro. His first CD
"Draught" recorded by his
International ensemble got in the top ten albums of 2006 by many jazz
writers including Art Lange of Down Beat. The second CD was recorded live at
the Cerkno Jazz Festival in Slovenia, May 2006, by his quintet. It consists
of 11 compositions spread over 75 minutes. Szilard Mezei's music is full of
power and passion, his viola flies and swings, and his motivators Charles
Mingus and Duke Ellington would be proud of him.
