Legacy of Native Sense

Budapest Jazz Club / Ujlipotvaros / Map

Legacy of Native Sense is a duo project created by vibraphonist Mátyás Szigeti and pianist Szabolcs Horváth, paying tribute to one of jazz’s most celebrated musical partnerships, that of Chick Corea and Gary Burton. The ensemble takes its name from the duo’s acclaimed 1997 album Native Sense, widely regarded as a landmark recording in the modern chamber jazz tradition. The repertoire focuses on compositions featured on Native Sense, with the musicians striving to capture the album’s distinctive musical spirit and sound world as authentically as possible. Through the rich tonal palette of the vibraphone and piano, a strong sense of chamber music interplay, and the freedom of improvisation, the duo offers both a tribute to the artistic legacy of Chick Corea and Gary Burton and an exploration of one of the most compelling traditions in modern jazz. Mátyás Szigeti – vibrafon, Szabolcs Horváth – piano

The ensemble’s repertoire is built primarily around original compositions, drawing significant inspiration from Miles Davis’s electric period as well as the musical legacy of Joe Zawinul and Weather Report. The quartet’s sound evokes the spirit of the seminal American and European jazz-rock groups of the 1970s, while reinterpreting the genre through a contemporary perspective and a fresh artistic approach. Virtuosity, musical interaction, and improvisation play equally important roles in their performances, while the compositions themselves form a cohesive and distinctive musical identity. One of the ensemble’s defining characteristics is its placement of the violin at the center of a musical landscape where the instrument is rarely featured as a lead voice. Frankie Látó’s artistic development was profoundly influenced by his mentor, the legendary French jazz violinist Didier Lockwood, whose musica
