(Mainstream Jazz / Bop / Hard Bop / Cool) Ferenc Nemeth - Night Songs - 2007, APE (image+.cue), lossless

Ferenc Nemeth was born in Keszthely (Hungary), grow up in Zalacsany (small village of a 1000 people) and started to play the drums when he was three years old. His mother a school teacher, his father a businnesman and amateur drummer, who gave him his first drum lessons. At age fourteen he started to play in a top40 band and moved out of the family house to study classical percussion at the Richter János Conservatory in Gyõr. After compleating highschool, he moved to Budapest where he started to play different styles of music, while attended to the Franz Liszt Academy of Music's Jazz Department. Soon Ferenc became one of the busiest jazz drummers in Hungary. After the Academy, he got a scholarship to Berklee College of Music and moved to Boston where he lived for three years. He also attended to the New England Conservatory and did one year as a graduate student. In 2001 he applied and got accepted (as the only drummer and first Hungarian) to the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz program - along with fellow students and current bandmates Lionel Loueke and Massimo Biolcati - where he studied for two years. The Monk Institute is a selective program that allows students to study and perform with some of the finest Jazz musicians in the world, including three legends Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and Terence Blanchard. While in Los Angeles, Ferenc started to work with the Billy Childs Trio, Bob Sheppard, Dave Carpenter, John Clayton, Jimmy Heath, The Henry Mancini Orchestra...just to name a few.
In 2003, after compleating his studies at the Thelonious Monk Institute, Ferenc moved to New York, where he almost immediately began playing gigs, working his way into the New York Jazz scene. Soon, Ferenc gained the recognition needed to be called to perform and tour with some of the biggest names in the jazz world. He has performed and/or recorded with a variety of artists such as: Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Christian McBride, John Patitucci, Terence Blanchard, Lionel Loueke, John Abercrombie, Dave Samuels, Mark Turner, Hal Crook, David Benoit, Bud Shunk, Darren Barret, Bruno Raberg, Greg Hopkins, Phil Wilson, Reggie Hamilton, Dave Grusin, Steve Turre, Eddie Deniels, Eddie Henderson, Ron McClure, Chris Cheek, Aaron Goldberg, Kenny Wheeler, Eli Degibri, Jonathan Kreisberg, John Ellis, Omert Avital, The Mason Brothers, etc.
It was then in 2003, when he began to work with GilFeMa -which is a collaborative trio featuring Lionel Loueke on guitar/voc, Massimo Biolcati on bass and Ferenc Nemeth on drums/percussion-. Ferenc was already working with ObliqSound and to his recommendation they recorded their first self titled CD for the lable in 2004, which features three of Ferenc's song. Ferenc began to focus more on composing and soon released a duo album along with Javier Vercher for FreshSound, where the two of them wrote all the songs.
In 2005, Ferenc established his own lable "Dreamers Collective Records", and recorded his debut album "Night Songs", featuring John Patitucci, Chris Cheek, Mark Turner, Lionel Loueke , Aaron Parks and eight of his own original compositions. With "Night Songs" the Hungarian drummer finally can put in light his own gifts as a composer and arranger, besides as a performer, which have made him one of the sidemen most in demand in an environment as difficult as America. In particular it’s notable the ability, that the Hungarian musician shows, in his writing for the others. Nemeth avoids showing off his own performance skills, giving himself only one solo in the opening song “War” while in the rest of the recording he only accompanies the others with clean and precise timing. He is very discrete and never overpowers the other instruments.
Ferenc has been part of the Lionel Loueke Trio for the past 9 years. Recently was released "Karibu", the stunning Blue Note label debut from guitarist and vocalist Lionel Loueke (takes its title from a Swahili word meaning “welcome”), featuring Loueke’s long-standing trio of bassist Massimo Biolcati and drummer Ferenc Nemeth, Karibu is also graced by rare guest appearances by two legends: pianist Herbie Hancock and saxophonist Wayne Shorter.
Ferenc Nemeth is an artist who continues to push the boundaries of jazz-drumming.
He's been studying with:
Laszlo Farsang, Balazs Papp, Laszlo Varay, Imre Koszegi, Ivan Nesztor, John Ramsay, Bob Kaufman, Gary Chaffee, Bob Moses, Jerry Bergonzi, George Russell, Peter Erskine, Dave Holland, Carl Allen, Kenny Barron, Wayne Shorter, Ralph Peterson.

A strain of melancholy longing runs through drummer Ferenc Nemeth’s dreamlike debut as a leader, as delicately layered melodies billow and merge in overlapping waves. Nemeth’s rolling cadences provide direction, while the twin saxophones of Chris Cheek and Mark Turner dance in an intimate pas de deux or roam introspective byways. Aaron Parks is sunny yet mysterious on piano, and guitarist Lionel Loueke’s sparkling, ethereal lines and quiet vocalizing add a sense of fantasy to this elusively structured set.Forrest Dylan Bryant

It might surprise that Hungarian-born drummer Ferenc Nemeth makes his debut as a leader with Night Songs. The sophistication and self-assurance of his composing and arranging have the earmarks of a seasoned veteran. Nemeth has assembled a group of musicians with whom he has worked before and who have worked at various times with each other; this all-around familiarity is what gives this disc its verve.
In spite of its title, the tune “War” isn’t really violent. Nemeth’s driving, inspired drum solo is as close to a martial flavor or aura as the song gets. The surprisingly up-tempo tune begins things here, with Mark Turner’s driving tenor contrasting nicely with Chris Cheek’s weary alto. The dynamic Lionel Loueke adds his rich, subtle guitar and sensual vocalizing to “A Night,” a lush yet calm piece that defines reflection.
Bassist John Patitucci’s excellent Middle Eastern-flavored pizzicato sets the stage for the wonderful “Vera.” Turner and Cheek weave and soar amidst Nemeth’s percussion, with Loueke’s almost subliminal vocals providing a sensual backdrop. Nemeth’s arrangement of Wayne Shorter’s “E.S.P.” puts a mischievous bounce in its step. Turner and Cheek again play a nice tandem on “New Song,” with the spare, strong voices of their horns blending soulfully. “Ballad for the Stars” is another showcase for Patitucci, and Loueke leads the way on the Weather Report-inflected “L.L..”
The Middle Eastern/African-influenced “Lullaby” features Aaron Parks’ outstanding piano and more of Nemeth’s shimmering percussion. Night Songs is an eye-opening debut, one where style and substance walk in perfect balance.
