Timeline

1948

Miklós József "Jackie" Orszáczky (8 May 1948, Budapest, Hungary – 3 February 2008, Sydney, Australia) was a Hungarian-Australian musician, arranger, vocalist and record producer.

Jackie Orszaczky was born as Miklós József Orszáczky on 8 May 1948 in Budapest, Hungary.

His father, László Orszáczky, was an engineer, his mother was Giselle, and his brother was László Orszáczky.

His family lived in District VIII: Józsefváros (English: Josephtown) where, from the age of five, he studied classical piano and violin.

Orszaczky preferred listening to his father's Spanish and Afro-Cuban records and the local gypsy music.

1956

During the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 the Orszaczky family hid in their cellar for a week and emerged to see their home with bullet ridden walls and the local streets with dead bodies of people run over by tanks.

Orszaczky was a member of his school's 60-piece orchestra.

1964

Within six months of meeting, Orszaczky and Harrod (born 1964, New Zealand) had become a domestic couple.

1965

In 1965 Jackie Orszaczky started a rock band, Új Rákfogó (English: New Crab-catcher), while attending Dugonics Utcai Általános Iskola (English: Dugonics Street Elementary School) in Josephtown.

Other members were Miklos Cserba on guitar, Laszlo Mogyorossy on guitar, Lakatos Bogoly Bela (aka "Horse-fly Locksmith") on drums.

1966

Later additions included his brother, László Orszáczky, on keyboards (1966–67), Mezei Aniko on vocals and Vadasz "Ferike" on guitar.

They performed in local clubs until dawn – Orszaczky would sleep in and missed so much school he was expelled due to low attendance.

1969

In 1969 Orszaczky joined jazz-fusion and progressive rock group, Syrius on bass guitar, guitar and vocals.

Other members of Syrius were Zoltan "Joel" Baronits on piano, oboe and saxophone; Latsi "Les" Pataki on organ, piano and drums; Mihaly "Michie" Raduly on saxophone, flute and violin; and Andras "Andrew" Veszelinov on drums, guitar and trombone.

Australian backpacker, Charles Fisher, saw one of the group's gigs and advised them to tour Australia.

1970

Syrius toured there in 1970–71, including a performance at the Myponga Festival in South Australia in January 1971.

In Melbourne they recorded an album, Syrius, with Fisher producing, which was released both in Australia (on the Spin label) and Hungary.

In Australia they also issued a single, "I've Been This Down Before".

According to Australian rock music historian, Ian McFarlane, Syrius were "Hungary's top rock attraction, and had already issued several albums of jazz fusion before relocating to Australia".

He established a career as a leading musician in the front rank of much of the best jazz, soul, funk and rhythm & blues music created in Australia in the 1970s to the 2000s.

He also continued to tour in Hungary, and continued to command crowds of 3,000 to 30,000 people at his annual Budapest concerts.
