Budapest Concerts is the third recording that brings Gábor, Sébastien and Alban together. At the beginning, the encounter was self-explanatory: Sébastien, with whom Alban had often shared the stage over the last ten years, introduced him to Gábor, then resident in France. From their meeting sprang two fairly orchestral projects of Darche: first Stringed in 2004, then Trumpet Kingdom in 2007. Besides these highly planned, structured projects, they had always had the idea of playing a free music, starting from simple and flexible material, just the three of them. No chatter, no special instructions, just a few themes to unravel, the rest being done by listening and reacting to each other.

Press Quotes
The Franco-Hungarian trio performs a series of free-jazz pieces, each based on the slightest of sketches. In general, the drumless format produces a music of gentle exhalation, atmospheric and at times filmic (as on the stop-go waltz tribute to Tim Burton). Saxophonist Darche is responsible for much of the recording's gentle beauty. Though his avant-garde credentials are nowhere in doubt, he nevertheless approaches a melodic idea as though he were Paul Quinichette, or, better still, Zoot Sims: open, approachable and with a vague sense of swing.
