Description/Reviews: 

The first record Living In The Gap consists of twelve tracks, most of which come from Leslie Mandoki. They sound ultra-modern and invite you to indulge in jazz-rock climes. Different voices and styles. Sometimes it is more bluesy, then there are elements more oriented towards jazz. Different voices, male and female, create diverse vibes. A real diversified first disc.

The second CD Hungarian Pictures offers seven pieces that relate to musical themes by Bela Bartók (1881 - 1945) and his collection of traditional Hungarian folk songs. Newly arranged and supplemented with additional compositions, as well as with adaptations of the traditional texts and music, wonderful jazz-rock-folk numbers were created.
