Press Quotes
The works are much more than marginal; more like mystical and quite magical, actually. They're skillfully conceived and executed; attractive and showing a remarkable degree of contemporaneity, indicated by superb blowing of the reeds and woodwinds, by way of ornamentation and even fingering and dynamics. Every one of the pieces from the very short movements to the longer ones, sound brilliant and inspiriting. Brilliant in terms of instincts, modern virtuosity, whether it's a question of attack, articulation and dynamic variation.
—Raul da Gama, jazzdagama.com
Marginal Music is a suite of compositions that expresses a Hungarian-styled take on the improvised music world by a sophisticated sextet headed by Budapest-based multi-reedist István Grencsó.
—Ken Waxman, jazzword.com
The musicians build upon each other's thoughts without rude interference yet challenging the listener to get on the same page. 'Collective Ploughing' was our favorite in a rather provocative, session.
—D. Oscar Groomes, OsPlaceJazz
