BJC HARMONY 2023 - Budapest Jazz Club's offer has been expanded with a new merch product

"A hatvanas évek derekán a jazzgitározásnak nem volt ismert szakirodalma, így autodidakta módon tanulta, a fülére és a szívére hagyatkozva. Akkoriban ha a Mátyás tériek első vonalában váratlanul pótolni kellett egy kieső tagot, a második vonalból hívtak muzsikusokat. Így került Pege Aladár új zenekarába, melynek tagjaként tizenhét évesen megnyerte a Magyar Rádió jazzversenyét."

Júliusban a Fővárosi Önkormányzattal szoros együttműködésben a Budapest Jazz Club közönsége által legjobban kedvelt duó formációk szabadtérre költöznek és a Városháza Díszudvarán adnak koncertet, összesen négy alkalommal. A gyönyörű, különleges növényekkel díszített hatalmas udvaron különleges hangulatú, szabad ég alatt zajló programmal várják a közönséget.

"We used to celebrate the BJC birthday at the very beginning of January, but it was not easy at the time. We invited the Jazz Steps band to the club's first concert. When Zoli Finok, the leader of the band, came upstairs in the Múzeum Street building, there were still bags of cement on the stage He looked around and said very quickly that they wouldn't do that now. My co-owner Zoli tried to convince them: "Drink a coffee and come back in an hour and a half, believe me!" Shortly before the concert, we packed up the construction debris and buckets with Zoli. By the time the Jazz Steps members got back, we were ready."
