Csaba Deseő's (1939) career started in the early 1960s, in the legendary Dália era. Soon he appeared at international festivals in Prague, Warsaw, Berlin, and Ljubljana. His first LP entitled Four String Tschaba was recorded in 1974 in West-Germany, and it was followed by three other ones released by Hungaroton. He played in different formations with top Hungarian performers for a long time, among others with Andor Kovács, László Gárdonyi, Richárd Kruza, Imre Kőszegi, and Balázs Berkes. Deseő has been a frequent guest soloist in vibraphonist Bosko Petrovic's ensemble releasing a CD with them in the 1990s. He has played with Jean-Luc Ponty, John Lewis, Zbigniew Seifert, Gábor Szabó, and Martin Drew. Between 1967 and 2000 he was member of the viola section of the Hungarian State Symphony Orchestra.
