bTzumo Trio - Plays Pat (2019) [Hi-Res]

“The Thelonious Monk Institute graduate Tzumo is known for his exceptionally vibrant and lively solos and rock-solid harmonic foundation. (...) On this CD Tzumo is joined by long-time collaborator Jozsef ’Pluto’ Horvath on bass. Pluto is a first-call bass guitarist in Hungary but is mostly featured on upright in this intimate acoustic setting. Rounding out the trio is Ferenc Nemeth, New York City-based Hungarian drummer and Tzumo’s classmate at Berklee. Nemeth, besides composing and leading his own band, has been also playing and recording with acclaimed artists as Lionel Loueke, Billy Childs, Herbie Hancock, Dhafer Youssef, Joshua Redman. (...) The result is an absolutely charming and shining collection of straight-ahead takes on melodies, wherein the trio shares their magical take on these tunes. They have the freedom and familiarity of jazz standards, but celebrate each element which make them unique.” (Kornél Zipernovszky, journalist, music critic)
