Bartók spent years recording and analysing folk songs across Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and beyond, then absorbed their modes and uneven rhythms into his own language. Jazz musicians can approach him from either direction, through the bite of his modernist harmony or through dance patterns already carrying a history of transformation.
