Nicolas Simion Group feat. Zoltan Lantos - Berlin - 2000-06-17

Here then is my first share on the blog, a nice radio broadcast by the Nicolas Simion group with Zoltan Lantos on violin. Both musicians are eastern european, though Simion has been based in the western part. I first heard Simion on the ORF produced CD of his and the great Iancsi Körössy's. They led a quartet together a few years ago, likely just for that one tour that ORF recorded in Graz. On that occasion, they also had Lee Konitz sitting in as a guest.
I have a live recording from Bucharest from that fall 2001 tour, sans Lee, that I could post later if there's interest.

As mentioned before, this was recorded to MD in longplay (LP4, to be exact) mode. I decoded the FLAC files w/FLAC Frontend and created MP3s @ 320 kbs with CDex, using lame encoder.
