Martien Oster, István Gyárfás, Zoltán Oláh - When Marty Met Gyafi & Zoli (2025) [Hi-Res]

"I am happy the way the music came out! Everything was done spontaneously: simple arrangements of standard tunes with the emphasis on interplay.Gyafi has the capability to blend in every musical situation and when it is time to solo he shines with his typical dry boppish sound. I have a slightly brighter sound and although we have the same influences in our background, we sound totally different in my opinion. And the mighty Zoli keeps it all together with his strong foundation and involved solos! All in all a very pleasant experience with two people that I call my friends!" (Martien Oster)
