HorvÁth “tojÁs” GÁbor Trio | Multiverse at Jazzfest Budapest at Premier Kultcafé

The Universe: A Symphony of Vibrating Strings

Under the title Multiverse, the Horváth "Tojás" Gábor Trio presents its new album.

The surrounding universe, theoretical physics, and the diverse moods found in the songs served as the inspiration for the Horváth "Tojás" Gábor Trio's fifth album, Multiverse. The compositions of the jazz pianist and composer are characterized by playfulness, musical humor, and emotional diversity, so the album features cheerful tracks rich in rhythm changes, along with grand solos and hymn-like ballads.

Horváth "Tojás" Gábor is a jazz pianist, composer, producer, and teacher at the Bartók Conservatory. He is one of the leading performers in the Hungarian jazz scene, founder of the successful Transform Quintet, a member of the Gereben Zita Band, and has also recorded a joint album with the world-renowned jazz pianist, Joey Calderazzo. With his own trio, consisting of bassist Balázs Horváth and drummer Attila Gálfi, he has recorded his fifth album. While his previous albums, such as Soundtrack, were inspired by film scores, and Trickset drew from the magical world of magic tricks and card illusions, this current album takes its inspiration from the universe around us, astronomy, and theoretical physics....

The Universe: A Symphony of Vibrating Strings

However, this time, Gábor did not create a concept album, but instead sought to capture the duality that characterizes their concerts: the balance between momentum and intimacy within the compositions. His pieces are also known for their "painting of images," with a clear and effective expression of moods and emotions, and the trio's precise instrumental execution. This results in a diversity of tracks, which is also reflected in the title Multiverse.
