Csík Band: Happy Sad Song
“In this recording we have tried to demonstrate the variety and beauty of Hungarian folk music through our choices of Hungarian, Romanian and Transylvanian pieces.” - Csík Band
Specialty of the record is that we can discover a new side of Mihály Dresch, a giant of home jazz as member of the Csík Group. We can see that he is just as excellent in playing authentic folkmusic as he is in improvising when there is space for it.
