ALERANT Jazz Night: Szakcsi Jr. Trio - "STOLEN TEARS" - album release concert

For 15 years, the trio has been living and performing in an unchanged form. Szakcsi Jr. and Elemér Balázs formed a band as childhood friends, having been playing music together since 1998. As a young talent, Krisztián Pecek Lakatos, who had burst into the Hungarian jazz scene a few years ago, was invited to play bass for their first album, Psalms, released in 2008.

 

 

The second trio album released at the end of 2022 with the title Easy To Love was long overdue. In addition to giving concerts, bandleader Szakcsi Jr. taught a lot at the Snétberger Music Talent Center and the Egressy Béni Art School. The album contains jazz standards alongside two own tracks, but - as Szakcsi Jr. puts it - the theme is just an excuse, the point is the musical conversation, the trio plays acoustic modern jazz keeping the jazz traditions.

 

 

 

At the beginning of this year, the trio released a new album called Stolen Tears, which will be presented live at this concert.
