  | KADA ~ BUCSUZAS (FAREWELL) PERIFERIC 072/073 (Barcode: 5998272704021) ~ HUNGARY ~ Jazz-Rock Fusion Recorded: 2001 Released: 2001
This is the 2nd album by the superb Hungarian Prog / Fusion group KadaFind albums by this artist, which is definitely one of the most ambitious and interesting groups from that country. Almost impossible to categorize, they play a completely unique instrumental music, which consist of mostly improvised, often quite freely, long pieces, which have a melodic background but move in all possible directions. The individual instrumental skills of the musicians are quite amazing and although this music requires more attentive listening, the result is truly amazing. The group consists of six members who play a plethora of instruments between them, with guitar in front, bass, drums and percussions and brass instruments like trumpet, saxophone and trombone. The closest possible relation to other Prof / Fusion stuff would be the RIO movement, but Kada are a class of their own. Brilliant stuff!

  | KADA AD LIBITUM ~ APPROXIMATIONES PERIFERIC 152 ~ HUNGARY ~ Jazz-Rock Fusion Recorded: 2005 Released: 2005
This is the 1st album by the excellent Hungarian quartet Kada Ad LibitumFind albums by this artist, formed by ex-KadaFind albums by this artist guitarist Laszlo ValikFind albums by this artist and saxophonist Daniel VacziFind albums by this artist, with bassist Matyas SzandaiFind albums by this artist and drummer Andras MohayFind albums by this artist. They continue the beautiful tradition of Kada, expanding the improvised aspect of their music quite extensively, up to a point where it becomes almost free. However, since the music still includes some Rock elements, both rhythmically and harmonically, it can be considered as part of broadly defined Jazz-Rock, albeit marginally. In any way the overall effect of their music is quite remarkable, presented in a form of a collage of 16 unnamed parts. The album’s artwork gives very little information about the music, apparently intentionally so. There are brief melody lines but most of the music is improvised, which of course demands highly skilled players of the caliber presented herein. The bass player is outstanding and his contribution in bonding this complex music together is invaluable, but all four musicians perform remarkably well. This is music, which remains interesting, regardless how many times one listens to it and I encourage everybody to give it a try. Brilliant stuff!
