À la MAO | Modern Art Orchestra plays Ballads
- Modern Art Orchestra
- Artistic director: Kornél Fekete-Kovács
A „ballad” played by jazz musicians and singers is supposed to be slow and is typically about romantic feelings. What the leader of MAO, Kornél Fekete-Kovács adds regarding their choice of ballads for this program is that so much could be grouped here, anything that is rather introvert and fits the mood of the season. The repertoire of the big band contains a lot of traditional, and quite many unusual ballads. This time, we’ll be enjoying a set in some way similar to the „Ballad” recordings of Charlie Parker and other groundbreaking players. A typical example could be Under the Waterfalls, penned by the leader of the orchestra, which was first performed by the legendary Benny Golson in concert featured by MAO. Matching the concept of providing a cross section, slow movements will be played on their own from larger suites usually played in their entirety, such as the ones by Attila Korb, Gábor Cseke, Szabolcs Oláh and others.
