PapaJazz - Eisemann Songbook (2021) [Hi-Res]

Undoubtedly, the first half of the 20th century was the golden age of Hungarian music, as countless songs, couplets, operettas and film scores were written during this period, and quite a few excellent lyricists and composers were active in Hungary at that time. The most significant of them was Mihály Eisemann, who is also considered one of the founding fathers of the Hungarian operetta and the adopter of the more modern, jazzy sound. He graduated from the Academy of Music under the guidance of Zoltán Kodály, Albert Siklós, and Leó Weiner, simultaneously pursuing his studies in law and earning critical acclaim as a bar pianist and later as a composer. On this album PapaJazz, a jazz quintet that plays traditional jazz, collected the most original and catchy Eisemann melodies, evoking the timeless sound of the 1930s and 40s.
