Miklós Lukács Cimbiosis Trio (HU)

About

Cimbalom player Miklós Lukács is undoubtedly one of the most exceptional figures in Hungarian and international music: his classical music training has enabled him to delve deeply into both jazz and contemporary music. His virtuoso playing and constant experimentation have led him to discovering previously unknown sounds on his instrument. The best examples of this can be heard in the music of the Cimbiosis Trio, founded in 2013, which has grown into one of the most original formations on the Hungarian jazz scene. On top of the unique combination of instruments and the constantly expanding repertoire of original compositions, neither the bandleader nor the members shy away from experimentation and exploring new paths. “I composed for this trio in such a way so that we would sound like a chamber music ensemble, where every musician has equal weight. That's why I chose the name Cimbiosis: the symbiosis between us is key,” said Miklós Lukács. Photo: István Huszti / BMC
