Ez A Divat

About

Live band from Hungary, plays mostly jazzy drum & bass and dub with a captivating female vocal. The story of the band is getting longer and longer as time passes by. Ez a Divat was formed back in 1993 by bassist Lakinger József as one of the innumerable high-school alternative bands. During the years, the sound of the band underwent some significant changes. The line-up solidified in 1997 with Asztalos Dávid on the drums, Gál Dániel on the keys and Kovács Ádám on the saxophone. In the coming two years, Ez a Divat spent most of its time experimenting with genres adjacent to jazz. These experiments took a slightly different direction when singer Csorba Melinda joined the band in the last days of 1999. Morphing into a vocal-centred band made the instrumental parts move to the background. However, some of the tunes still revolve around jazz, the emphasis is less on the individual solos and more on the band as it is, that is creating the music together.
