'Should I make a bridge for you?' the tiny wizard standing on the edge of a chasm asks the
wanderer. And he starts bending backwards slowly ... We are also devoting all our efforts to
creating such a bridge between the music of the past and that of the present, refining the hard
elements and hardening the fine ones. That's why we always dance on the edge of the chasm: JAZZ.
'Either we'll move among the seats or the audience will come on stage,' I usually tell myself
before concerts and suddenly time seems to have stopped - we are playing music.
After playing for a while, we always ask our audience to take their choice if we should play
our old pieces or we should perform some of our experimental compositions. Our music is ethno-jazz,
that is a kind of free-jazz or world music inspired by folk music. This, however, is not important!
We would not be happy if we were put in a pigeon-hole. In each of our compositions there are motifs
by which our pieces might be put in any category. Let me give you an example: a folk song not only
belongs to an ethnic group but also to the informant, and a piece of classical music belongs to its
composer. Listening to our music, the listener associates it with this quartet. Our pieces are not
finalized, the final version can be created with the influence of both our performances and the
reaction of our audience.
Remarks about our music such as loud, noisy and rustling are more appropriate than expressions
like soundless, noiseless and silent. This is melodious and rhythmical jazz that maps the inside
of your ears while it evokes the musicality of the Carpathian basin and, at the same time, it
proceeds towards an unknown future.
