Kornél Fekete-Kovács - trumpet

Subjectively

As fate would have it, almost immediately after his move to Budapest we found ourselver shoulder to shoulder in the band called Rózsaszín Bombázók (The Pink Bombers). So it did not require hard brainwork to deduce who to invite for the 9:30 trumpet recordings. At the time of recording and during the first 1-2 years he was one of the most stalwart, stable members of the band, but sadly the co-operation was disrupted due to his involvement in other works.
