Harmónia Jazzműhely

Singer Alma Bencze gifted with a beautiful voice and great feeling who was invited to the legendary 606 Club in London is now presenting her favorite jazz standards to the audience of the Budapest Jazz Club and the Harmony Jazz Workshop.

Hajdu Klára, an outstanding Hungarian jazz vocalist, has been chosen songstress of the year by the readers of Hungarian jazz blog jazzma.hu.

Instead of competing, these brilliant musicians complement each other by producing a fresh and unique sound that transcends down all the artificial dividing lines created by rigid definitions of genre.

Niki Vörös one of Hungary’s very best, is a true jazz singer, the real thing, who is capable of turning any tune into high quality jazz.

For nearly four decades he was content to be a sideman but in 2015 he formed his present quartet and became immensely successful.

The outstanding pianist, Zoltán Pintér began studying the piano at the age of three. He won his first piano competition when he was 5 years old. Gabor Kollmann is the leader of the amazing Budapest Jazz Orchestra big band.

The formation, including five brilliant musicians, plays songs of the one and only John Coltrane as well as original material.

Richárd Révész is one of the most talented pianist of this country. With his band he plays real jazzy latin vibes.

Jazzation remembers the Hungarian-born Pannonica Rothschild in its brand-new programme. As the youngest child of Charles Rothschild and Baroness von Wertheimstein of Oradea, Kathleen Annie Pannonica had everything she could wish for. Yet she still longed for something other than wealth could give: a life free of conventions and genuine independence. Not only for herself but for every person. 

Lilla Orbay is not among the “big names” yet, but she already draws great audiences. This brilliant young outfit of hers presents refreshingly original variations on great jazz standards.

Gina Kanizsa is considered one of the most outstanding artists of her generation, and it is no coincidence that the professional jury of jazz.hu chose her as the best female jazz singer in 2023 and 2024.

Fronted by two trombones this quintet partly models itself on the similar formation led by the great Kai Winding and JJ Johnson but also uses arrangements of Frank Rosolino, Bill Watrous or Carl Fontana.

With four beautiful female voices, this event presents the world of the four seasons.
