ROBY LAKATOS & HIS ENSEMBLE
Later With Lakatos
Deutsche Grammophon 459 642-2--11
Showy Brussels-based Hungarian gypsy-jazz violin maestro live in Budapest plays
his own compositions and versions of Liszt, Reinhardt, Strauss, Fiddler on
the Roof, Russian & Moldovan folksongs and Loreena “Mc Kenneth”.
MOR-appearing café-ish repertoire much of it, but expanded and enlivened by his
hot and articulate band of piano, cimbalom, 2nd violin, guitar and bass.
