LACO DECZI & Celula New York

Legendary trumpeter, living for many years in the USA. Since his entry into the professional music scene more than fifty years ago, he has been its "enfant terrible" and the hallmark of his exceptionalism has remained to this day. Despite the prevailing trend of intellectual, almost academically disciplined West Coast jazz, Deczi's amateur bands were already devoted to the explosive hard bop from the opposite coast of America, and he himself professed the legacy of its tragically departed genius, Clifford Brown. Succeeding his own group Celula and, after emigrating, its American counterpart Celula New York, he was able to fuse Brown's trumpet message into an impressive symbiosis with Miles Davis' electric jazz-rock fusion, in the spirit of which Deczi's music has unfolded to the present day.
