Santa Diver, Guest: János Ávéd at Opus Jazz Club

Featuring:

Luca Kézdy - violin
Dávid Szesztay - bass guitar
Zsolt Sárvári Kovács - drums

Guest: János Ávéd - saxophone

“Kézdy has become the soloist of the band for sure, these musical structures are based on her very emotional melodies with a wild range of dynamics in them, which are sometimes separated into different chapters as part of a specific piece. The tight and significant rhythms of Zsolt Sárvári Kovács are making the others to go with them, his sound is like what can be heard recently by modern American drummers. With such a complex, but very direct without any self-assertive playing is very rare in our musical scene. Szesztay brings the grooves basically, there's no doubt the bass is the part of the rhythm section, but in the meditative parts there are melodies wich are sometimes transformed into more complex bass themes.” (Zoltán Végső , Élet és Irodalom, 2013)...

“For the violin - bass guitar - drum trio there are no well threaded paths like when the solo instrument would be a guitar or piano, but Luca Kézdy, Dávid Szesztay and Zsolt Sárvári Kovács don't even hold on the ropes, which they created earlier for themselves. We have the feeling all the time, that they play with within a huge range of freedom, although the landmarks are well created.” (Barbara Bércesi , Gramofon, 2013)
