The Wall

yesterday we went out to see Jazzékiel, a band playing jazz-based music with rapping. it didn't really work out as we imagined: there was about half of Budapest's population wanting to get in to Gödör Club...:
however, we didn't panic: instead, we bought a few cans of beer, than settled down right next to the stage. only outside the club... :) but thanks to the not very thick glass wall we could see and hear everything:of course it wasn't only us who listened to the gig outside. it was quite funny when a few young guys recognized some friends of them inside the club and wanted to communicate. like some retards.
'Caaan yooouuu heeeaaar meeeee?
Nooooo?
Whaaaat aaaare yooouuuu uuup toooo laateer?
Whaaaat?
Heeeeee?'
this was the point when we stopped watching them.

After the gig we moved on to a billirad saloon. the place was like a maze. they even put the ground plan of it into the menu.
don't let yourself be fooled! this guy is not as boozy as it seems. even more! :) hehe.
Cheers Gege!anyway, i've got a few more friends who's 'ars poetica' would be best expressed by this photo :)

going home was not less fun than the whole night itself. 6 people for 5 seats. what is the obvious solution? the boot! we put Jani into the back of the car. he seemingly did not object the idea:he was in his elements: he scared the sh*t out of us when a hand appeared behind us from the nothing. then the mean murderer showed himself too. we laughed our heads off.

Rockit: The Herbie Hancock Story

i recommend the following programme for all those who are interested in music (not only jazz!) and/or particularly in Herbie Hancock's music. If you are not familiar with his name just listen to Watermelon Man and u'll realize that u know this song and u like it. Because it's awesome.

In the first programme of a three-part series - Rockit: The Herbie Hancock Story - on BBC Radio 2 Jamie Cullum and other fellow musicians are telling us about Herbie, his music and life.

The second part is broadcasted tomorrow, Wed 31 Jan from 10pm GMT, 11pm CET. Listen to it live here and to the final part at the same time one week later.

Darbucka

yo. as i said we went out on thu with Peter, my cousin. we just selected a random place from a big load of clubs, bars offering live music and i have to tell you that we were lucky. neither the club's name - Darbucka - nor the band's - Carl Orr's Danger Funk - told us anything but both turned out to be great. stunning gig in a nice Arabic athmosphere.


colourful bar. no beer on tap. not good not good. very good white wine though...


the source of noises. best jazz music i've heard for a long time (i haven't been to too many gigs recently...)

T(w)onight(s)

yo. i was on this flamenco-jazz gig last night. Juan Carmona, Mino Cinelu, Dés László and Balázs József. Great musicians, great music. they were amazing individually but i missed some kind of cooperation between them. and i also missed the bass. i could have imagined a double bass or sth... anyway, it was still fantastic, partly due to the location. it was organized in the national concert hall that is to be found in the so called palace of arts. this concert hall is one of the most modern ones probably in the whole world. amazing sounding.

tonight we've watched the Departed. Best film i've seen for a long time!! 8.5 on imdb. the new Scorsese film. a bit of godfather feeling, a bit of tarantino, good casting and acting. and yes! no stupid hollywoodian happy end. good film. then i met my other best friend, Mape, who's doing his phd now. he's doing well, just moved in into his new flat that is 10 mins walk away from mine. slowly all my friends will move into this area :)
