The Djabe came out with a new studio album at the end of 2022. The album ‘Before’, which was released firstly in double CD format, contains fifteen new original recordings. Although the beautiful photos of the four-panel digi sleeve packaging once again praise the beauty of Sardinia, this time the recording sessions were taken in Hungary, Denmark and England. On the double album, the current line-up of Djabe can be heard as the core band, namely: Tamás Barabás bass guitar, guitar, synthesizer program, vocals, sound engineer; Attila Égerházi guitar, percussion, producer; Áron Koós-Hutás trumpet, French horn, Péter Kaszás vocals, drums; Zoltán Bubenyák keyboards. As well as four guest artists already known from previous records: Steve Hackett guitar, harmonica; Rob Townsend sax; Tibor Karvaly electric violin; Éva Kozma koboz and a newcomer in Djabe colors, violinist György Mesics.
As usual, once again the colorful arrangement plays a bouquet of songs that is perhaps even more colorful than before, in sound quality that is considered to be top-class worldwide. Through which the instrumental qualities of the virtuosos, the extra colors and moods added by the guests, and the especially progressive song structures of the authors’ compositions, which are built from diverse stylistic elements, are very well enforced.
Similar to the album “The Magic Stag” released two years ago, the performance of singer Péter Kaszás is again overwhelming. Such professional vocal performance, with absolute reason and measure, adapted to the needs of the given composition, can be heard almost exclusively on American soul, superpop and westcoast albums of the previous century. Peti doesn’t push anything too far, he doesn’t bend mindlessly anywhere, he doesn’t scream at the top of his lungs, he doesn’t want to show how great a king he is at all costs. On the other hand, as much as he sings, it is exemplary, and could even be immediately included in the curriculum of any professional music school in the world. Personally, the title track is the winner for me, but it’s completely understandable if someone else’s favorite is “Stars And Moonbeams” with lyrics by Jo Hackett.
I thought a lot about what else could be written about Djabe’s music after such an oeuvre, and what could be highlighted from the new set of songs. But even after a week and a half of brooding, I couldn’t come to anything other than that the compositions of “Before” continue to bring the usual high standard, while still ignoring genre boundaries, but freely wandering between eras and genres.
In case of Djabe, Tamás’ composition “Started Here” may seem like a new tone, which exudes an atmosphere of unusual gravity, almost dark music. Another interesting novelty is “Mist”, in which Steve Hackett plays the accordion, evoking the cheerful, liberated, jamming moments of the encores of the last tours. The double CD edition of “Before” also sounds extremely good, and moreover, it has an attractive design and is a must-have piece for a collection.~ László Bese, All Music
