I don't understand... is Georges Cziffra Jr. dead or not? -- Missmarple 09:31, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
We show him dying on 17 January, but I’ve found this cite, published on 18 January 1994, a Tuesday, which says he died "on Saturday". The date of that Saturday was 15 January 1994. The German cite (Cziffra Fondation Vienna) we already have also says 15 January. Article changed accordingly. -- JackofOz ( talk) 07:39, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Martin, re [1], just wanted to mention that I think we can find sourcing for Cziffra's work in the Jazz arena. I found this dissertation with Proquest:
"Hungarian gypsy style in the Lisztian spirit: Georges Cziffra's two transcriptions of Brahms' Fifth Hungarian Dance. Loparits, Elizabeth. The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, ProQuest Dissertations Publishing, 2008. 3307209."
Which relates the following:
Cziffra was also an outstanding jazz pianist. Jazz musician Jenõ (Bubi) Beanter remembers that when he first heard Cziffra, he could not believe his ears. He says that Cziffra played Rimsky-Korsakov’s Flight of the Bumblebee at such an astonishing speed that “there could be hardly any bumblebee that could catch up with its pace.”188 Beanter and Cziffra did work together after this, and in their collaboration Cziffra’s work as a jazz pianist was of an outstandingly high quality according to Beanter. He also remarked that it seemed that for Cziffra “one piano at a time is too few. This person needed at least three pianos!”189 Between 1947 and 1950 Cziffra went on European tours with a jazz band.190
References 188, 189 and 190 are as follows:
I'll try to return to this shortly to see if I can verify at least one of those references. What do you think? - Darouet ( talk) 14:51, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
"Insane technique but there's No swing in this!!!"are you referring to Cziffra's playing or to the potential block? - Darouet ( talk) 15:29, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
