MANDOKI SOULMATES Living In The Gap + Hungarian Pictures Double CD and Premium with Double CD and Double Vinyl With the new concept double album Living In The Gap + Hungarian Pictures, the MANDOKI SOULMATES succeeds in a redefinition of prog rock in the mature sound of today. The band: Leslie Mandoki, Bobby Kimball (Toto), Chris Thompson (Earth Band), Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), Jack Bruce (Cream), Nick van Eede (Cutting Crew), Peter Maffay, David Clayton-Thomas (BS&T), Tony Carey (Rainbow), John Helliwell and Jesse Siebenberg (Supertramp), Julia Manda oki, Al di Meola, Mike Stern, Simon Phillips, Randy Brecker, Ada Brecker, Bill Evans, Till Brönner, Cory Henry, Richard Bona, Steve Bailey and more. A concept album that draws an insistent position on social change. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, happiness rained from the sky, so Mandoki we would have had all the opportunities to form a society where people are really the focus. Instead, we experience a primacy of selfishness and greedy casino capitalism, extreme social imbalance, and an irreversibly destroyed environment. There's a lot to do for the next generation of young rebels who have to take to the streets today because of our collective failure! Musically, the Soulmates put everything in the scale that the crème de la crème des jazz and rock has to offer. Great music moments, captivating improvisations, wonderful sound images and irrepressible joy to play. 10 new Soulmates songs plus two songs where the Soulmates play to archive tapes with their late founding member Jack Bruce and thus take him once again into their midst. CD2 is an ambitious 47-min. ProgRock Suite Hungarian Pictures based on themes by Béla Bartók with new compositions and included songs. Mandoki had thought of realizing this idea years ago together with Greg Lake from ELP. Total playing time: 67min + 46min
