European Branderburgher

The European Jazz Trio, comprising Marc van Roon on Piano, Frans van der Hoeven on bass and Roy Dackus on drums has been recording and performing since 1995, when it released a CD of Beatles' songs in fresh arrangements.
On each album, the trio has taken songs in every style, shape and color, and has given them a jazz interpretation. For the trio 'Jazz' means to have the freedom to combine and mix styles, melodies, sounds and rhythms to create something fresh and surprising.
The European Jazz Trio pushes the envelope of jazz music by adding to it its own sound and rhythm, a result of the music that has influenced the trio's members.

European Mantra is a yardstick in the Hungarian music scene. Yancha is the band’s 6th album. The album, consisting exclusively of Borlai’s compositions, brings the usual "Mantra" style characteristic of the band, but like all their albums, unexpected musical twists and surprises occur this time as well. Borlai, unlike with previous European Mantra albums, has now made less use of the limitless possibilities of arrangements of technical instruments, but focused on making the band sound the same live as on the album, without any background equipment. Thus, it is safe to say that European Mantra has in a sense returned to its own roots, which is the highest level of compassion for extremist genres, uncompromisingly, in the spirit of joy. On Yancha everything that the band’s fans expect from the band: loud, fast, melodic, informal, funny, brave, heavy, travelling, soloing, singing. The "Mantra" style itself.
