Uniquely among Hungarian bands, Djabe releases their 5th<\/sup>album in England within 4 years. This time, the album will not be released under the name Djabe & Steve Hackett by the world-renowned Cherry Red Records, but exclusively under Djabe.<\/p>\n The above does not mean that Steve would not be on the album, as the concept of the album and the lyrics of the title song are his and his wife\u2019s creation. The creative Hackett couple were inspired by Imre \u00c9gerh\u00e1zi’s painting, titled Hungarian Myths and Legends<\/em>to write The Magic Stag<\/em>. Tam\u00e1s Barab\u00e1s and Attila \u00c9gerh\u00e1zi selected the additional paintings in the album, to which the individual compositions can be linked.<\/p>\n The album contains 11 compositions, of which 9 were composed by Tam\u00e1s Barab\u00e1s alone and one with Attila \u00c9gerh\u00e1zi. The final piece of the album, Uncertain Time, is a work by \u00c9gerh\u00e1zi. Among the creators there is also Barna P\u00e9ly, who wrote the lyrics of the other song with vocal, Down By The Lakeside<\/em>.<\/p>\n Djabe wasn\u2019t going to settle for 11 tracks as the LP can hold two more. The 12th titled S\u00e1ri\u2019s Dream<\/em>, a studio recording that can be considered as a sequel to Uncertain Time<\/em>, with Steve Hackett as a hero. The 13th track is a Djabe & Steve Hackett concert recording of V\u00e1gta<\/em>, an almost 30-year old composition of Attila \u00c9gerh\u00e1zi (performed in 2019 at the Budapest Jazz Club).<\/p>\n The record label also notes that Djabe is one of the finest Progressive \/ Jazz fusion bands working in the world today. They are also known to a wider audience outside of their native land thanks to a series of collaborative albums and live appearances with the legendary solo musician and ex-Genesis member STEVE HACKETT.<\/p>\n DJABE features Tam\u00e1s Barab\u00e1s (bass guitar), Attila \u00c9gerh\u00e1zi (acoustic and electric guitar, percussion), \u00c1ron Ko\u00f3s-Hut\u00e1s (flugelhorn, trumpet), J\u00e1nos Nagy (keyboards) and P\u00e9ter Kasz\u00e1s (drums, lead vocal) and their music contains influences from progressive rock, jazz and world music. Their new album is inspired by the work of the painter, Imre \u00c9gerh\u00e1zi (father of Attila \u00c9gerh\u00e1zi).<\/p>\n By the new millennium Imre \u00c9gerh\u00e1zi was regarded as one of the Hungarian Great Plain\u2019s leading masters. He had gained great recognition in Hungary and beyond its borders for his art and his organizational work in the world of art. He also did much for artistic communities and colleagues. His work and life inspired the musicians to create \u201cTHE MAGIC STAG\u201d.<\/p>\n STEVE HACKETT not only co-wrote the lyrics of the album\u2019s title track with his wife JO HACKETT, but he also plays guitar on seven of the album tracks and acts as narrator. The album also features guest ROB TOWNSEND on tenor saxophone (also from Steve Hackett\u2019s band). Tar genius Malik Mansurov also plays on several tracks, whilst former Djabe members, Ferenc Muck and Tibor Karvaly also contribute. L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Szab\u00f3 also adds his magical Sitar playing to the album.<\/p>\n THE BEGINNING OF LEGENDS FAR AWAY TWO LITTLE SNOWFLAKES UNCERTAIN TIME <\/div>\n Tam\u00e1s Barab\u00e1s \u2013 bass guitar Steve Hackett \u2013 guitar, storytelling <\/div> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SIDE A<\/h2>\n
