Ferenc Snétberger usually walks on stage with a piece of paper on which are scribbled a couple of bars of melody and a few chords. That is all he needs for a solo concert. Others may understand the signs but only he can construct a clear improvised concert around them. He is currently the best known Hungarian-Roma jazz and world musician in the world, gliding between jazz, Brazilian music, classical and Roma. But one of the defining characteristics of his guitar playing is improvisation. Besides... his intimate solo concerts, he is also at home in duos and larger bands where he appears no less unique. He has teamed up with Bobby McFerrin and Markus Stockhausen, played with Tunisian lute artist Dhafer Youssef and has his own Trio Nomad with Norwegian Arild Andersen on bass and Paolo Vinaccia on percussion. He has even experimented in large orchestral set ups, for example in his work “To the Memory of My People.” His latest exciting project is a collaboration with the Nádor String Quartet and József Barcza Horváth. The quartet has been playing together for the last six years and is a regular guest at international competitions and festivals and their repertoire extends from Viennese classics to Hungarian contemporary composers. This fusion of Snétberger with his improvisation, the string quartet with its mastery of classical music as well as one of the finest jazz double bass players of the Hungarian younger generation, József Barcza Horváth (who has played with the Festival Orchestra as well as many world famous jazz musicians) promises to again knock down barriers, but with the musical subtlety we have come to expect from Ferenc Snétberger.
