Paris-Dakar
for improvising soloist and big band
Description
First performance: 2001 – Budapest
László Gőz and Budapest Jazz solists
Paris-Dakar is a veritable Paris-Dakar rally. Rushing through the sandy desert, the heat, dust, deranged tempo… big band.
In this race the double-bell trombone holds the first place, improvising freely, without any constraint.
A second version with different instrumentation is created by Kornél Fekete-Kovács in 2019.
