A personal goodbye-concert for one of our longtime collegues and incredible sax-player Tony Lakatos and you can hear it with the best sound possible in our series "Live + Mastered". Like it? Then please subscribe here: [ Ссылка ]
"Live + Mastered" what does that mean?
Our Sound engineers do the best job on earth to work on the sound of our live shows to make it even more "fresh", "brilliant", "differentiated" - what ever you may call it. We invite you to take the opportunity and make a direct comparison between the live sound of our Livestream (already very good) and the newly mastered version (with all the details in the arrangements made more "stand out").
Want to hear the difference to the livestream version?
Here you go: Goodbye Tony! hr-Sendesaal, Friday 15 October 2021: [ Ссылка ]
We would love to hear your comments! Do you hear the difference? What do you like most?

hr-Sendesaal, Friday 15 October 2021
Actually, Tony has always been here. Officially, the native Hungarian has been with the Frankfurt Radio Big Band since 1993. With his sound on the tenor saxophone, he is still defining the sound of the band today. Our manager once said, "I've never heard an only dubious solo from Tony!". Now the sad moment has come to say: "Goodbye, Tony!" to one of the most gifted musicians of European jazz, to one who has no musical blinders and to a great person who shaped our big band for 28 years. We want to hear the best of Tony once again and prepare a special evening for him in return. Joining us will be his quintet, the Frankfurt Radio Big Band and, of course, the chief conductor himself: Jim McNeely. Take advantage of one of the last four opportunities for a concert evening with the Frankfurt Radio Big Band and Tony Lakatos on tenor saxophone!
__________________________________________________________
Eigentlich war der Tony schon immer hier. Offiziell ist der gebürtige Ungar seit 1993 bei der hr-Bigband. Mit seinem Sound am Tenorsaxofon ist er bis heute stilprägend. Unser Manager hat einmal gesagt: »Ich habe noch nie ein nur zweifelhaftes Solo von Tony gehört!«. Jetzt ist der traurige Moment gekommen, um »Goodbye« zu sagen.
Einem der begabtesten Musiker des europäischen Jazz, einem, der keine musikalischen Scheuklappen hat und einem großartigen Menschen, der 28 Jahre lang unsere Bigband geprägt hat.
Wir wollen noch einmal das Beste von Tony hören und ihm dafür einen besonderen Abend bereiten. Mit dabei ist sein Quintett, die hr-Bigband und natürlich der Chefdirigent persönlich: Jim McNeely. Nutzen Sie eine der vier letzten Gelegenheiten für einen Konzertabend mit der hr-Bigband und Tony Lakatos am Tenorsaxofon!
