Description

On his album entitled Corners of My Mind, Gabor Winand reveals the whole gamut of the tools of his trade, but he does this without affectation, without ever needing to resort to soloist bravuras. This 'restraint' derives in part from his character, and in part has always been an essential feature of his interpretative technique. Winand often sings as though the music had just put him in mind of something - as if he were 'incidental' or at the most merely another 'instrument'.
At the same time he is obviously well aware that a natural mode of interpretation is essential when the music is about real states of mind and the thoughts and emotions that accompany them. This is why Eszter Molnar, the author of the lyrics, found in Gabor Winand's personality a most convincing 'medium' for the interpretation of the most intimate and deeply felt emotions of adulthood - for which singing theatrically, 'for effect', or cloaking oneself in an artistic haze, is simply not enough.
Mannerism is not foreign to jazz singers, an imperfection that cannot be laid at Winand's door; but at times his singing is imbued with a coolness, and an inherent imperturbability arising from his temperament, which enhances his authenticity as a performer. It is to this aloofness, and this male bashfulness, if you will, that we owe the exceptional qualities of his style.
Given the clarity and beauty of Gabor Gado's compositions, we should not be surprised if some of his pieces were to turn up as new standards in the repertory of world-famous musicians of the genre in a few years' time even if it is hard to imagine a better performance than Gabor Winand and his companions recorded on this album.
