| |
| The leader of the group is Hungarian and presents compositions |
| with references to Hungarian folk music, culture, and the language |
| itself. |
| The group is a combination of French and Hungarian players, but |
| despite that and the title of Universal Music, the main frame of |
| reference is black American free jazz, particularly the way the |
| saxophonists get around on their horns, from grumbling split tones |
| to pentatonic or lydian thank you notes. It is a horn of plenty, |
| or plenty or horns with some five different players on hand |
| wielding some form of saxophone, clarinet, or flute. |
| The recording might not be particularly original, but it is |
| energetic and vivid, beautifully recorded and reminiscent of one |
| of the great collective energy jazz sessions, the epic Under the |
| Sun recorded in the '70s by the St. Louis-based Human Arts |
| Ensemble. |
| As on that record, there are often several reed players |
| improvising at once over a rhythm-section sound that is awash with |
| odd bits of percussion and what even sounds like a boombox trying |
| to give birth. There always seems to be something new entering the |
| sound picture, or someone else barging in with some type of sonic |
| stimulation. Some of the players double on brass instruments, |
| while Mokhtar Choumaine plays not only flute by the traditional |
| folk reed instruments the ney and the kaval. So there are always |
| plenty of interesting things going on. What Hungarian influence |
| there is in the actual music tends to come in toward the openings |
| of pieces, as if setting the mood before all hell breaks loose. It |
| is hard to imagine fans of energy jazz not enjoying either of the |
| lengthy tracks, such as the 17-minute "Tan," certainly hotter than |
| a trip to the beach, even with global warming. Actually, "tan" is |
| the Hungarian word for "perhaps." The final track, "Ek," sounds a |
| bit more European, with the accent on strings and more |
| classical-influenced writing, although not played with all that |
| much ensemble precision. |
