Zoltán Lantos' Mirrorworld

The members of the Zoltán Lantos' Mirrorworld quartet are well known in the Hungarian and Europian contemporary jazz scene. They have been working with each other in various formations during the last few years. These different collaborations eventually resulted in forming the present Quartet in the middle of 1999. It would be hard to put their music into any particular category, although the musical concept of similar projects is internationally recognized as World jazz. Even so, the music of "Mirrorworld" is strongly rooted in the traditions of their homeland. At the same time it has deep connections with other musical cultures as well: oriental music, Indian classical music, contemporary music and free jazz are equally important elements that form the building material of the compositions and the atmosphere of the improvisations. The group - having taken the name from Zoltán Lantos' similarly titled album released in 1998 - had its debut in the 99' Leipzig Jazz Festival with great success. Ever since, the quartet is a regular visitor of Jazz- and World Music festivals across Europe, also performing with various guest artists. Their first album titled "Tiptoe Ceremony" was released by BMC in 2002.
