Born in Algeria as Judit Matinsky, she lived in Canada, worked in Berlin and in Corfu.

Which still is not so obvious that Judy Jay, in collaboration with guitarist Gábor Gergácz, has a brand new group, which had its very successful debut in the Opus Jazz Club, back in June. As Judy says, “for me, everything started with improvisation”, so it’s no wonder that jazzy and soulful covers of standards fit in with ease to her wide repertoire.

Seating at the Opus jazz Club can only be guaranteed in case of a table reservation.
