Biography
Fermáta is a legendary instrumental jazzrock band from Slovakia. It was established in 1973 by lead guitarist, and the only stable member, František Griglák (previous member of Prúdy and Collegium Musicum), together with Tomáš Berka (keyboards), Peter Szapu (drums) and Anton Jaro (bass).
First, self-titled album appeared in 1975, released by Opus. The band sounded extraordinary, and fulfilled their vision of difficult music for prepared listeners.
Second album, entitled “Pieseň z hôľ” was released year later. Peter Szapu left the band and was replaced by Cyril Zelenák. The sound got much coloured contours.The idea of using harmonic melodies usual for slovak folklore proved as a good one.
The third afford, called “Huascaran” contains a 4-piece rock suit inspired of a tragic story about czechoslovak climbing expedition in Peru. Released in 1977, the album introduced new members: Ladislav Lučenič (bass), Karol Oláh (drums).
After “Huascaran”, another line-up change happened. New bassplayer, Fedor Frešo joined the band - a rock veteran best-known for playing in Soulmen, Prúdy, Collegium Musicum, or another jazzrock legend from Czech republic: Modrý Efekt (also known as Blue Effect). In this line-up, the band recorded three excellent albums: Dunajská legenda , Biela planéta (both 1980), and Generation (1981). Griglák’s straightforward, tuny, and instrumentalistic writing, together with Berky’s artful approach are excelently suplemented with Frešo/Oláh rhythm tandem.
