Bela Szakcsi Lakatos - piano (Fazioli grand, model F278)
Miklós Lukcs - cimbalom (Bohk)

Editor's Info:
The music struck me as a conversation between equals, as two men were telling a long and involved story with several interesting and dramatic, frequently humorous twists to it, sometimes speaking excitedly at the same time, sometimes taking turns and sometimes embellishing the story as told by the other. .... The music is life-affirming, invigorating, thought-provoking, full of feeling and does owe its debt to jazz inasmuch as its improvised from beginning to end, but the Hungarian and the Gypsy are also there while the influences clearly stretch from Bach to Bartók. This is a tour de force, a meeting of minds, a tremendous and unique experience.
