A dedication from Greenergy
Jazz builds on ancestral energies - on natural ease, spontaneity and communal spirit. It's one of those rare forms of art that still preserve the values of communal jamming and in which tradition and the innovative spirit of modernity blend in harmonious unity.
The makers of this album - just like us - follow their own paths with youthful energy and self-confidence. Immersing ourselves in the music we experience how new alternatives emerge from harmonies that take us back to the source of inspiring joy: nature itself. This is our real contribution.

Making this recording was a very joyful experience for me. I first met Dániel at a gig in Gyor, and honestly I wasn't sure what to expect. Usually the phrase "local rhythm section" means one should expect the worst, but it was quickly apparent there's nothing "local" about Dániel! I hear all kinds of influences in his playing, including a deep knowledge of both jazz and the wonderful Hungarian classical tradition, and he ties all of it together in a beautiful and unique way.
This was not easy music, most of it had never been played, and we had a limited time to get it all together, so all of us had to be intensely focused. In the process, I think we found a great spirit of camaraderie together, and I think that spirit shines through when you listen to this music.
Hungary has become a second home to me since my wife is Hungarian, and I've experienced a lot of new and unexpected benefits from this connection, including the friendship of the gentlemen on this recording, who also happen to be some of the strongest musicians I know. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed playing it.
