BINDER QUINTET WITH JOHN TCHICAI (KRÉM, 1982)
heres a serenely beautiful , bittersweet music that’s very much a central European folk inflected fusion with free jazz.
I know nothing of the Hungarian ‘binder quintet’ beyond this one lp ive owned for 20 years.
A unique gem ,that’s worn very well and is unlikely to ever be reissued on cd.
There is no date at all on the lp, late seventies early eighties seems very likely.
This was put out on KREM the recording label of the state controlled Hungarian national radio broadcaster.
Enjoy

Hi Sotise,
Let me be the first to thank you for this rare record ; looking forward to listen !
Found quite a load of info about Karoly Binder, on this page : http://tinyurl.com/2jeyun
This particular album is from 1982.
The real hero here is Mihaly Dresch, who is the compositer of all the tracks. He is a world class player. Unfortunatelly his most cretive periode is practically not documented officially due to communist regime's culture politic. He is still very active, but rather plays folclore based quiet music always with a lot emotions and determination.
Very sophisticated playing that obviously is under some folk music influences, but reminds me at times of the Art Ensemble of Chicago. A most welcome surprise. Thanks a lot.
wow, what a fantastic record! thanks for posting this. moments remind me of moholo's "spirits rejoice" but it'd very enjoyable on its' own terms. thank you!
I have ony just downloaded this, but I'm sure I'll love once I've heard it... anyway, another of my own modest covers I wanted to share:
