The Eastern Boundary Quartet is a collaborative quartet featuring the Hungarian master musicians Balazs Bagyi (drums) and Mihaly Borbely (sax and reeds), along with the long-standing partnership of New York City bassist Joe Fonda and pianist Michael Jefry Stevens (co-leaders of the Fonda/Stevens Group and Conference Call). Since 2007 the quartet has toured Europe and the United States numerous times. The group uses Hungarian folk rhythms and melodies in combination with jazz harmonies and rhythms to form an original “hybrid” improvised music. Their music can be heard on four well-received CD’s, featuring original music composed by all members of the group. This unique collaboration is a mixture of avant-garde jazz and ethno-music from Hungary, forming a cultural bridge between the USA and Eastern Europe.
