Album Description

Elegance and passion are the outstanding characteristics of Hungarian jazz pianist Mátyás Bartha - he also recorded his second album "From This Moment On" in a trio format: "As a pianist, you definitely want to play in a trio," he says, "because you can't hide behind a wind player." Bartha got into music at the age of eight when he discovered his father's organ - his parents recognized his talent and gave him piano lessons and a piano. He then discovered jazz at the age of thirteen. The Austrian Christian Salfellner, who has played with musicians such as Fritz Pauer, Johannes Enders and Heinrich von Kalnein, sits on the drums. "Christian was one of my teachers and I always liked the way he played and the way he thought about music," says Bartha. The album opens with two of Bartha's own songs - "Bumpily" is dedicated to his partner Anna and "Dr. Raible" to jazz pianist Claus Raible. But American standards also play an important role on the album. Bartha has fused two of them - "It's The Talk Of The Town" and "Old Folks" - in "The Ballad Medley". Then there is Jerome Kern's "I'm Old Fashioned" on the program as well as two songs by the immortal Cole Porter. "Ev'rytime We Say Goodbye" has been wrapped up in a 5/4 beat by the trio, while the fast-paced "From This Moment On" even gave the album its title. "I like everything Cole Porter wrote," admits the pianist. For jazz musicians, his songs are simply a great basis for improvising The two remaining pieces are by the man who, with his smooth tone, is the link between drums and piano. 'The Man From The Capital' is dedicated to the owner of the Viennese jazz club "Zwe". The album ends on a funky note: Ziemann's 'Green's Groove' was inspired by the American jazz pianist Benny Green and shows Mátyás Bartha's trio from its gripping side.
