Most of Hungarian guitarist
Attila Zoller's early recordings have not been made available in the United States, but fortunately his two 1979 Enja releases were leased domestically by Inner City, allowing Americans an opportunity to hear
Zoller's unique sound. Like his countrymate
Gabor Szabo,
Zoller (who has a much more introverted style) uses aspects of his Hungarian folk heritage in his music while playing creative jazz. This quiet trio date with bassist
Ron Carter and drummer
Joe Chambers (which is comprised of four
Zoller originals plus a tune from tenorman Bobby Jones) is a good example of
Zoller's subtle improvising style. ~ Scott Yanow
