Harmónia Jazz Workshop: BorbÉly Balkan Jazz Project at Budapest Jazz Club

Saxophonist and multi-reed instrumentalist, MIHÁLY BORBÉLY is equally at home in folk and world music, in jazz and contemporary music. He teaches at the internationally acclaimed Ferenc Liszt University of Music. His improvisational music is an amalgam of various styles of jazz and of the ethnic heritage of Central and South Eastern Europe. It’s full of interesting melodic variations, and of, at times subtle, at other times very powerful rhythmic patterns.
THE BALKANS JAZZ PROJECT is the latest formation assembled by Mihály Borbély for which he has picked the most like-minded jazz- and folk musicians he’d had the good fortune to play with. Their extremely successful concerts so far have proved that the tremendous energies, rhythms and wonderful melodies, both of the Carpathian Basin and the Balkans could be gathered into a single magic focus. His fellow adventurers in this exciting musical quest will be ÁRON HORVÁTH on cimbalom, MIHÁLY GYÖRGY on guitar and bouzouki, KRUNOSZLÁV AGATICS accordion, BALÁZS HORVÁTH on bass and HUNOR G. SZABÓ on drums and percussion....
