Ferike is calling from New York City
A New York-ban élő magyar jazzdobos, Németh Ferenc újra –minden eddiginél szenzációsabb!- hírrel jelentkezett! – A szerk.
Dear Friends, Family, and Fans :)
I hope you and your families are well in these unprecedented times. Indeed we are all going through some difficulties and I hope you are able to find some goals or inspirations that move you forward.
I wanted to share with you that 'FREEDOM' passed the first round and is now in consideration for a GRAMMY nomination in the Best Jazz Instrumental Album category. Honestly, I really needed some good news like this! If you are a Voting member, please consider it.
2 years ago when we recorded the album, I had no idea how actual it is going to be now!
"When creating ‘Freedom,’ Nemeth knew using that title would spark some conversation as the world we live in is ironically encased in the idea of freedom. While we have more possibilities than ever today, Nemeth notes, “There is still racism, hate, there are still wars in some parts of the world, terrorism, people are still suffering and many people simply don’t believe in themselves so they can’t break out of their limiting beliefs.”
The tracks on the album are each unique and have their own story to tell. From the sorrow of leaving loved ones behind for good in “The Fugitive” to a simple boy suffering physical and emotional pain in “FarmBoy” to the reminder that people can achieve anything with enough faith in “Dare to Dream,” each track breathes its own truth and develops old favorites like
“Peacock.” An old Hungarian folk song with lyrics of freeing the slaves, the idea that tomorrow will bring new winds, new hope, and our belief will become our reality is brought into modern times sans the lyrics but the heart remains."
I am still doing my signature "Nightly Practice Sessions" (pushing 190 days), if you are around these days, please pop in and say hello on my Social Media channels.
Wishing you all the best, good health, and hope that sometime soon, I will see you as well!
