Djabe & Steve Hackett – Freya Arctic Jam

Steve Hackett staat bekend als een enorm getalenteerde en innovatieve rockmuzikant. Hij was leadgitarist bij Genesis als onderdeel van hun klassieke line-up met Gabriel, Collins, Banks en Rutherford, die veelgeprezen albums produceerde zoals Selling England by the Pound. Met Steve’s buitengewone veelzijdigheid in zowel zijn elektrische gitaarspel als zijn componeren, betrekt hij invloeden uit vele genres, waaronder Jazz, Wereldmuziek en Blues.

Djabe, een van de populairste Hongaarse (en Centraal-Europese) jazzrock-wereldfusionbands, is opgericht door gitarist/componist Égerházi Attila en percussionist András Sipos (beiden uit Novus Jam, een jazzfusionband). Djabe speelt muziek waarin de elementen van jazz worden vermengd met verschillende delen van Hongaarse en wereldmuziek.

Prog Archives review: “The ongoing relationship between the Genesis maestro and prolific Hungarian legends Djabe continues, seemingly a prefect partnership musically, as well as Steve’s obvious personal love for Hungarian culture. Combining modern jazz sensibilities within expansive musical channels that wander way beyond the mundane is in itself a major accomplishment, but when interfaced with Steve Hackett’s magical guitar, the creative flower blooms like a paradise garden.

With Tamàs Barabàs leaning on his florescent bass guitar, in unison with the syncopation marshalled by Peter Kaszàs , the keyboards can now run rampant, and Zoltàn Bubenyàk does so with shimmering class, while Aron Koos-Hutàs adds flugelhorn and trumpet to the arrangements, as well as taking center stage when called upon. Attila Égerhàzi maintains his compositional guidance and having Hackett’s incredible tone as a cavalry charge must be quite the experience. The Hungarians surely enjoy performing all the classic Genesis and Steve’s solo material just as much as Hackett seems having a blast playing the Magyar material. What we call a perfect partnership with zero downside, only mutual respect and constant enjoyment in each others company. The music is always a challenge to describe, a hybrid jazz, rock, African and Hungarian folk, at times ambient, meditative and progressive as well. (…)

Djabe are without question a global leader in modern jazz, owning all the attributes that make their music such a breath of freshness, a panacea for the soul . 5 polar marmalades.”
