With this album, a new generation of Hungarian folk jazz makes its mark: Kovász – Sourdough in Hungarian – renews the genre's decades-old tradition with its instrumental lineup as well as its approach. The band leader, Gergő Kováts, had got a foothold both in the world of jazz and folk, so his compositions do not simply approach folk music from the perspective of a jazz musician, but unbreakably combine all the influences that he and his bandmates have experienced so far, almost creating a new genre.
Fermentum differs significantly from the work of first-generation folk-jazz greats: while Mihály Dresch or Mihály Borbély aimed at developing a characteristic, organic and folk-focused jazz sound working in parallel with the traditional dance house movement, the members of Kovász explore the now readily accessible traditional musical knowledge with a similar commitment, but approach it rather through intuition and bold associations, which yields more eclectic results. The music of Kovász, like the ancient folk practice of sourdough baking that they chose as their name, is in the constant motion of change. The band breaks down different genres into molecules, then sets up their interaction based on well-established musical analogies. They put hard bop and free jazz in their jars, fed the pre-ferment with characteristic elements and dances of Hungarian folk music, and eventually some hip-hop and funk mixed in from the air. All this calls for an unusual instrumental lineup, with synthesizer and prepared gardon decisively shaping the group’s sound.
