„Emotion, passion, virtuosity, a high degree of musical empathy but, most of all, the overwhelming sense of freedom characthrises bot the Roma musical heritage and jazz. The authentic Gipsy music of various regions that forms the springboard of improvisation on this album goes hand-in glove with jazz. The East Gipsy Band brings together these two trends, with astonishing originality and at an extremely high artistic level, while keeping the music approachable and highly entertaining.” - Péter Pallai
