about
The leader of the group is Hungarian and presents compositions with references to Hungarian folk music, culture, and the language itself. The group is a combination of French and Hungarian players, but despite that and the title of universal music, the main frame of reference is black American free jazz, particularly the way the saxophonists get around on their horns, from grumbling split tones to pentatonic or lydian thank you notes. It is a horn of plenty, or plenty or horns with some five different players on hand wielding some form of saxophone, clarinet, or flute.
