Budapest Jazz Orchestra feat. Gergő Borlai - Tribute to Buddy Rich - Remember of Sándor Kármán

BJO believes in the importance of making the music available to the jazz-loving audience, to show them how it has changed and evolved in the past decades, and to introduce them to the various performers who are considered as milestones in this style of music.

At their concert on October 26, the Budapest Jazz Orchestra will perform a selection of Buddy Rich compositions in honor of Sándor Kármán, who would have turned 75 this year.

Our guest soloist is Gergő Borlai!

The Cegléd Drum Museum, based on Sándor Kármán’s private collection, offers a permanent exhibition showcasing the 20th-century history of percussion instruments used in popular music and jazz. His name is also linked to the International Drummer and Percussion Gala, held almost every year since 1993, featuring top Hungarian drummers and international stars such as Peter Erskine and Daniel Glass. Gergő Borlai is one of the most prominent figures in both the Hungarian and international music scenes. He moved to Barcelona in 2009 and has been building his career in Los Angeles since 2015. In Hungary, his main band is Godfater, led by Tibor Tátrai, while he also collaborates with several major projects and ensembles. His international musical partners include Scott Kinsey, Gary Willis, Frank Gambale, and Tony MacAlpine.
