Hello everybody,
I am researching the life and works of the hungarian gypsy jazz guitarist/violinist Elek BACSIK (Budapest, 1926 - Glen Ellyn, IL, 1993) .
Virtuose jazz guitarist/violinist, he played with all more important jazz musicians of 2nd Half of XX Century as Dizzy Gillespie, Quincy Jones, Warne Marsh, Oliver Nelson, Ray Brown, Grade Tate, Kenny Clarke, Pierre Michelot, Clark Terry, Lou Bennett, Michel Legrand, Stéphane Grappelli, Miles Davis, ...
I have already been in touch with many people who knew him : Daniel Humair, Art Simmons, Michel Gaudry, Michel Hausser, Nancy Holloway...
Please contact me if you think you can assist. I am searching for certain rare and unreleased recordings, photos, sheet music and other documents.
Thanks
