Margittai Jazz Night

The Elemer Balázs Group, one of Hungary’s most popular jazz band was founded in 2000 by Elemér Balázs, the internationally widely recognized and popular jazz drummer.

This fresh group plays their own mainstream-classical-jazz fusion songs. The performance is unique like the individual style of the members.

The program is rooted in the traditions of hard bop and, alongside original compositions, features works by legendary composers such as Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, and Joe Henderson.

Her repertoire is based mostly on her own compositions presenting soul, blues and jazz influences. 

In addition to the usual soul-funky repertoire, the concert will also feature Smokin' Chimney's new album, Central Vibes. This time, the seven-member team will be supplemented by the participation of Jammal, thus enhancing the atmosphere of the evening.

Pianist Gáspár Károly is one of the major figures on the Hungarian jazz scenes. He has played with everyone who is anyone in this country
