“Decades ago the deep energies of the music of the John Coltrane Quartet deeply impressed me and determined my musical way of thinking. Nowadays I am refreshed and recharged with similar feelings and energies from the music of the fearlessly rebellious and protesting bands of the 60's and 70's. These energies – I believe it is not worth going on stage without them – and my experiences of more than four decades, my commitment to freedom and free music, the active participation of my fellow musicians give the final forms of the pieces and concerts of the W69 band.”  István Baló

One and a half years ago, the successful concert of W69 at the Opus was recorded. From this material Márton Fenyvesi edited and mixed the group’s debut album, to be released on Hunnia Records on tday of the present concert. To highlight this special occasion, the quartet invited also saxophonist Kristóf Bacsó for a guest appearance on the concert.

This concert is supported by NKA Hangfoglaló Program.
