LAMU by Viktor Tóth & Mahasimbadavi Players

Viktor Tóth (born 19 May 1977), alto saxophonist, composer and orchestra leader - awarded Jazz Musician of the Year several times - is releasing his 7th album. As one of the top figures of the young generation of the contemporary Hungarian jazz scene, his performance signature is bridging musical styles, improvisation-centred, "soaring" and filled with spirituality.

The saxophonist compiled the material from three exhilirating concerts, which he has recorded over recent years with his Mahasimadavi Players', international musicians; the American master Hamid Drake (drums), Bart Maris from Belgium (trumpet), the German Afro rapper Simple One, Mátyás Szandai from Paris (bass) and the outstanding fresh talent David Dodek (drums). The music is modern, twisted and transcendental. Viktor wrote the music specially for these great artists, for whom the music becomes free from the first instant with flowing momentu, and an astonishing creative power.
