Joseph Geczy - Bananas

Posted on March 20, 2006 by canonical

Joseph Geczy is a pianist, composer, arranger, and conductor who moved from Hungary to Canada in 1969. Apparently already accomplished in Hungary, he continued his work in Edmonton, Alberta releasing a number of singles and even opening some Commonwealth Games. Bananas was his first album (1979), and as the back states consists of "all Geczy originals, the selections cover the spectrum, from disco through ballads to jazz-rock." This is probably the oddest local record I've found, musical genre wise. The album, containing about 60% absolute terds, has three blazingly awesome and haunting songs, featuring interesting synth arrangements and funkish rhythms.

I used to sing with Jospeh Geczy in Edmonton, and I am interested in getting in touch with him, but don’t know how to find him. He may be in Toronto. Can you help? Thanks.
