The first, Canadian edition of the Ervin Nyiregyhazi (b. Budapest, 1903 - d. Los Angeles, 1987) biography, authored by
Kevin Bazzana, was published in February 2007 by McClelland & Stewart.
The award-winning author of Wondrous Strange, the critically acclaimed biography of Glenn Gould, explores the bizarre,
untold life of another brilliant and eccentric musician.
The composer Arnold Schoenberg called him an “utterly extraordinary” pianist of “incredible originality and conviction,”
yet today he is all but forgotten. Born in Budapest in 1903, Ervin Nyiregyházi (nyeer-edge-hah-zee) was a remarkable
prodigy: at eight he performed at Buckingham Palace, and when he was thirteen a psychologist published a book about him.
In his teens, his idiosyncratic, intensely Romantic playing electrified audiences and astounded critics in Europe and
America. But his adult career quickly foundered, and he was reduced to penury.
In 1928, he settled in Los Angeles, and eventually he withdrew from public life, preferring to spend his time quietly
composing. Psychologically, he remained a child, and found the ordinary demands of daily life onerous — he struggled even
to dress himself. He drank heavily, was insatiable sexually (he married ten times), and described himself as “a fortissimo
bastard,” yet such was his talent and charisma that he numbered among his friends and champions celebrities such as Jack
Dempsey, Theodore Dreiser, Bela Lugosi and Gloria Swanson. Rediscovered in the 1970s, he enjoyed a brief, sensational and
controversial renaissance before slipping back into obscurity. He died in 1987.
Lost Genius, the product of ten years’ research, is the first biography of Nyiregyházi, whose story is among the
most fascinating — and bizarre — in twentieth-century music.
The U.S. edition is anticipated around September 1st, from Carroll & Graf (New York). A German edition, from Schott
(Berlin), is expected for this fall.

Colores es el nombre del nuevo trabajo de B-Jota. Dicho trabajo consta de 4 temas plagados de mensaje, buen hacer y un toque alternativo en la producción musical, en la cual se mezclara Rap con ritmos derivados del Soul y el Jazz. Consta con la colaboración de Mr. Sugga (Italia) en el tema “Diarios” en la que se fusionaran 2 dialectos (Alemán y Español) ofreciendo así una combinación diferente en la que esperan dar un toque de aire fresco al panorama.
