Tóth Viktor Skylark Metropolitan

This time they perform as a trio to create a more intimate, yet pulsatingly rhythmic sound. Several of Viktor Tóth's eight albums to date have won the Jazz Album of the Year award; each of his recordings and ensembles has a different sound. What they have in common is an innovative spirit, overwhelming expressiveness and melodic richness. Expect a special flight from these great musicians at this concert, over landscapes of swing-based modern jazz and broken grooves.

"Gorgeous guitar-saxophone unisons with melodies of anthemic beauty and guitar solos of masterful precision, smashed to atoms of melody and rhythm. There were beautiful balladic compositions with velvety, powerful bass solos and a rousing percussion accompaniment. But also a danceable hip-hop groove with a smoky club vibe. Larks in the musical metropolis, in a small sack village under the full moon at the foot of the Great Spring. Viktor Tóth held the musical arc of the concert in his hands as conductor, holding together the musicians' unearthly playing with subtle instructions. Genius musicians at the height of their creative powers, with individual voices, who, after the shock of pandemic and lockdown, are using their professional skills and musical universe to shock the planet back to a more hopeful life by creating a community miracle. Such a cathartic musical experience is very rare for audiences" - wrote Géza Barcsik about Skylark Metropolitan's performance at the B52 Jazz Festival.
