Guitarman Gábor Szalay is one of the underrated but absolutely brilliant masters of his instrument. He plays a mean bebop guitar and his musical bloodline goes back to Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell, Barney Kessell and Jim Hall.

Member of one of the most distinguished Hungarian Gypsy musical dynasties, the amazing bop pianist Béla Szakcsi Lakatos Jr. gave ample proof on the album, Szakcsi Generation with Jack DeJohnette and John Patitucci of just how consistently he maintains the standards set by his amazing father, not to mention the fact that he also turned out to be an equal partner to his world-famous American accompanists.

On bass we’ll have József Barcza Horváth, one of the best and most interesting players in this country which is teeming anyway with virtuoso bassists. He is one of the most melodic soloists to be heard.
