Tibor Elekes is "...Another of the talented bass players to have emerged from Europe. He places major emphasis on deep sound and solid time. His solos are beacons of melody rather than excuses for exercising technique, and his adaptation of Chopin could pass for a jazz original." These are the words of none less than the reputable American jazz critic Bob Blumenthal.Not by chance is Elekes one of the few European jazz musicians who made it into the American Jazz Music Radio Top Ten already twice. On his new record "Bizalom" which was released by his record company UNIT-Records Elekes's talent for composition clearly shows - along with traditional jazz, hungarian folk melodies and classical composers find their way into his music. This intriguing blend of tradition, professional skill and folk melodies will undoubtedly tickle listeners' acoustic sense in a new and delightful way.
