To The Memory Of Jackie Orszáczky, National Concert Hall, 4 April

In Sydney, where he moved in1974, he, as a composer, arranger and band leader attained a rank similar to what he had in Hungary. In his first solo album released in 1975 (Beramiada), he played jazz fusion, while in the eighties it was along soul, funky and rhythm & blues where he found the tone that was to characterise him throughout his career, producing albums like Jump Back Jack in 1987, Family Lore in 1993 or Deep Down Out in 1997. 

The album Deserted Downtown, released in 2001, was co-published with Tibor Tátrai – guitarist performing with Syrius also – while in the album released under the name of his partner, singer Tina Harrod, (Shacked Up In Paradise) Béla Szakcsi Lakatos played the piano in Jackie’s band. 

In Australia, Jackie’s collected works are now to be published in a deluxe box. In Hungary, at the Palace of Arts, we shall take farewell from Jackie by music, the way he wanted. His Australian band and Hungarian guests will play their music to make the concert ‘almost’ like the concert Jackie had in mind: evoking all the decisive periods in his music.
But devoting it to his memory now.
