The teeming lineup has only made a limited number of live appearances, one of which was at the first Hungarian Jazz Festival. The show was televised in a separate program on National TV.

Djabe plays in Stockholm
at
Skeppsholmen Stora stage
|
[07.29.2005]
Finnish and Sweedish jazz fans are fascinated by Djabe
Djabe stepped on the stage of the Pori Jazz festival,
celebrating its 40 th jubilee on a bright sunny evening.
The momentum and freshness of the one-hour-concert,
which started at 8 o’clock in the evening, and
its Hungarian characteristic captivated the audience,
who welcomed the compositions and solos with continuous
frenetic applause.
In the 21 of July program of Pori
world class stars like Charlie Haden, Jamie Cullumn
and Kenny Garrett stood on the stage.
Stockholm Jazz
2005, the other world wide known festival was a great
success as well in the life of Djabe. The huge stage
was set up on the Isle of Skeppsholmen, in the heart
of Stockholm. In front of it was the auditorium, where
approximately 5,000 people could sit down or stand
while viewing the concert.
After the stormy concert
the audience of Stockholm attacked the CD stand, later
a crowd was standing in front of the dedication tent.
From among the brand new enthusiastic Djabe fans
it was exclaimed that Djabe’s performance was
the best, while on the 23rd of July such stars as Johnny
Griffin, Toots Thielemans, Lisa Nilsson, Didier Lockwood
and Peter Cincotti also performed and the day before
the last performance, Lee Ritenour, Roy Haynes, Lauryn
Hill and John Abercrombie.
Djabe gives a concert next in Bulgaria at the international
Bansko Jazz festival.

orchestra, seamlessly linking the small and large

 New
vinyl version of the "Sketches of Satie" album
from 2000
Limited edition, manufactured and imported from Hungary
Get 'em while you can!
"...John and I had long talked about a project involving Satie's music. Would
it require an orchestra or could we use the full tonal range of our own two favoured
instruments to create a sound canvas worthy of the keyboard-based writing? Either
way it would be a return to our musical roots when we first became aware of 'Atmospheric'
music, brave enough to remain rhythmically static yet all the more poignant precisely
because of that 'held-back' quality. There always was a love of music in the
family home but not specifically the 'Classical' tradition - I'd say we found
our way to this music ourselves without being pushed. For us, Satie was definitely
a man ahead of his time. Unlikely modulations abound and the Minimalists were
to take from him as would Jazz, and where would 'Ambient' music be without his
example?
I can't fully describe my delight and joy that the sessions went so well and
that the album, long overdue, is now complete. I may be sticking my neck out
here but I don't believe John has ever sounded in finer form, he was obviously
born to play Satie - as I am sure you'll agree!
