Besides Gregorian movements, works of Stolzer, Festa and Lassus are displayed, on which the jazz quartet - as a continuation - reflects with free improvisations preserving certain elements of the original works (rhythm, keynote, harmonic frame, etc.) The pieces have been adapted by Elemér Balázs, József Balázs, László Dés, Zoltán Mizsei and Mátyás Szandai. In 2003 Dés László was the founding member of a new group with the following members: Balázs Elemér - drums, Dés András - percussions, Glaser Péter - bass, Balázs József - piano, Juhász Gábor - guitar, Fekete Kovács Kornél - trumpet, Dés László - saxophon. His creative instinct urges him to work as performer and composer and has composed music for a number of Hungarian films (Out of Order, Samba, Pirates, Glass Tiger, We Never Die), contemporary music (Hanged), musical (Jungle Book) and pop music for the band Jazz+Az. Beside enjoying growing popularity as composer he remained faithful to the instrument. In 1993 he continued his career as a soloist, featuring the work of contemporary composers with symphonic and chamber orchestras. His main instrument is the soprano saxophone of which subtle and 'subjective' pure tone, the ingenuity of his improvisational melodic lines reflecting his literate and sophisticated personality, made him one of the most personal and appealing of all jazz stylists praised by the audience and critics, too.
