By now he’s found his metier and for years he has been producing an incredible variety of experimental yet highly approachable music, as well as jamming on standards with unbelievable ease and inventiveness.
In 2009 Juhász's album “1978” won the "Hungarian Jazz Record Of The Year" award, by the music critics of Gramofon Magazin in 2010. Gábor was also voted “Jazz Guitar player of the year in 2015", by the readers poll of jazzma.hu. He has played and recorded, among others, with Archie Shepp, Palle Mikkelborg, Erik Truffaz, Charlie Mariano, Ian Ballamy, Lars Danielsson, Stephen James, Bebo Baldan, Federico Sanesi, Theo Jörgensman.
With his present trio including ZOLTÁN KOVÁCS on bass and GYÖRGY JESZENSZKY on the drums he plays modern mainstream jazz with a repertoire consisting of standards and original compositions.
