Laszlo Gardony: Dig Deep

Read "Dig Deep" reviewed by Michael P. Gladstone


One favorite and under-appreciated pianist has been Hungarian-born Laszlo Gardony. His emigration to the United States in 1983 began a career in which his first albums (on both Antilles and Sunnyside) established a firmly swinging piano trio setting. Although the '90s were not a productive era, he has had four releases since 2001. Dig ...

Laszlo Gardony: Natural Instinct

Read "Natural Instinct" reviewed by Tom Greenland


Who said “those who can't play teach ? It's not necessarily true, as some of the best jazz musicians can be found hiding out in institutions of higher learning.

Laszlo Gardony: Natural Instinct

Read "Natural Instinct" reviewed by Jeff Dayton-Johnson


What with Nils Petter Molvaer and the Ilhan Ersahin/Erik Truffaz duo twiddling the knobs, working hard to create a kind of trumpet electronica (not to mention the chaabi-electronica experiments of Bugge Wesseltoft and Michy Mano, and whatever it is that Jim Black is creating), modern plugged-in jazz is beginning to resemble a research lab.

Laszlo Gardony: Natural Instinct

Read "Natural Instinct" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


Laszlo Gardony, a lyrical pianist, often shades his playing in pastels as he explores the standards and original material on Natural Instinct. For this effort he works in a compact trio with drummer Yoron Israel and bassist John Lockwood. Gardony's laid-back approach works well most of the time. He has a bent towards building ...
