"Throughout the 1980's I played extensively in Hungary for the National Radio and many jazz festivals; one of my outstanding memories is the excitement of hearing the groups of György Szabados live in concert and at festivals. Like Bartok before him, but following a different strain, Szabados' work is much influenced by Hungarian folk music and has found its own recognised place in the culture of that country.
When the Hungarian label 'Hunnia' told me of this double CD project and invited SLAM in a joint production I had no hesitation in accepting and I could not be more pleased with the result." - George Haslam
