Hungarian guitarist Ferenc Snétberger made a lot of new friends with his
ECM solo debut In Concert (a beautiful, assured performance All About
Jazz) and will make many more with Titok, which features his trio with
Swedish bassist Anders Jormin and US drummer Joey Baron. Recorded at
Oslo's Rainbow Studio in May 2015 and produced by Manfred Eicher, it s a
warm and involving album, with an emphasis on intensely melodic
improvisation and interaction which draws the listener gently into it's
sound-world. The rapport between Snétberger and Jormin is evident from
the outset, as both guitar and bass explore the contours of Ferenc's
compositions. Throughout, Joey Baron s drums and cymbals provide shading
and texture with restraint and subtlety.
