(...) The somewhat personal pieces in my "Hungarian Songbook" have taken on a new sound in my mind for a long time now, and I've been wondering, why these songs in particular. From countless ideas and completed arrangements I selected a few for this album, also putting the spotlight on a couple of Hungarian jazz pieces, whose composers I have some personal relationship with. Mihály Borbély
Press Quotes
The material on Hungarian Jazz Rhapsody is, naturally, affected by the group's international experiences. There are a few, more 'westernised', passages and backbeats towards the end, yet the Hungarian flavour is seldom compromised. Borbély and his crew have produced an excellent, satisfying album that contains some beautiful stuff and several breathtaking moments.
—Andy Boeckstaens , londonjazznews.com
A canny improviser and arranger, Borbély shows off the band's skill by linking his variant of 'Gloomy Sunday', played with a heart-tugging vibrato and the equally passionate romanticism from Szabó, to 'You See, This Is Love'.
—Ken Waxman , jazzword.com
Borbely blows up a storm in a few spots with emotional shrieks worthy of Gato Barbieri but he has a distinctive and huge tone of his own.
—Scott Yanow, Los Angeles Jazz Scenes
