Marginal Music / Rétegzene
A strong follow-up to the group's preceding album, Flat/Síkvidék (2014). The original quartet lineup of the Grencsó Open Collective is strengthened on the album by outstanding German bass clarinetist, Rudi Mahall, who supplies a dynamic and sometimes ironic extra layer of melodies. The rhythm section has a second double bass player as well. István Grencsó, the torch-bearer of the Hungarian avant-garde signs most of the compositions, showing elements from blues, Bartók, jazz standards and so on, all embedded in the rich context of free improvisation.
