Oláh Kálmán Sextet
Orchestra, choir, ensemble
Formed
1994
The first formation represented a real modern mainstream jazz and later three excellent reads Makovics Dénes, Fekete-Kovács Kornél and Schreck Ferenc joined to the Trio Midnight.
The new style of today's sextet is a modern jazz based on the compositional music of the 20th century especially the rich tonality of Bartók. However in its rhythm and pulsation a real contemporary modern jazz.
Oláh Kálmán even approaches the Hungarian folk-music through the Bartók harmonies, in his instrumentation - opposing the fashionable "world music" trends - there are no electronic instruments but the acoustic sounding and the natural dynamical balance is dominant.
The style of the new Oláh Kálmán sextet unlike the Trio Midnight is bound, consisting of more parts and built on elaborate compositions topped with improvisation resulting in a perfectly modern tonality.
