Great Evening in Sahy

The jazz fans in our town are used to artists who are a big name in the world of jazz music. These personalities are expected to play charming/fascinating music and usually do this. Young group members are quite often introduced here and they greatly surprise the audience. This happened during the live performance of Szakcsi (Sa-chi) Lakatos Béla's Trio in Šahy. Szakcsi (Sa-chi) Lakatos Béla, as a member of Special EFX, toured the world and several records of his music have been made. He is transforming gypsy-flavored melodies into jazz. Lakatos plays the piano percussively wavy a bit out of time ( Lakato's originals are full of rich melodies, which are unpredictable and intriguing. We were satisfied, because he played what we expected. He seemed a bit tired but during improvisation we could see his well known moue expressing his deep concentration on music. Orbán György played double-bass reliably. Lakatos Pecek András remind me of Jack DeJohnette's complicated playing - several rhythm lines being played at the same time. He did it very well and I considered him the biggest surprise of the evening. The Szakcsi (Sa-chi) Lakatos Béla's Trio played contemporary post-bop jazz with a lot of freejazz elements. I'm sure the audience had a great evening on August 11th.
