KRISZTA POCSAI possesses one of the most beautiful voices in jazz. She has rapidly gained a massive reputation on the Hungarian music scene as one of the most impressive singers of her generation. Widening her musical range to include pop, funk and Latin as well as jazz, she has produced three albums to which she contributed a number of songs as composer as well as lyricist in which latter roles she also excels. Her performance ranges from movingly sad to hilariously funny and upbeat. She was massively successful as part of the 3-day ‘Budapest Jazz Club@606’ and twice brought the house down in London’s legendary 606 Club. Kriszta picks her partners with great care from the top echelon of the Hungarian scene. Pianist JÓZSEF BALÁZS is one of the most remarkable keyboard-man of his generation. He is also the leader of the East Gipsy Band, the fantastic outfit that successfully toured Canada and the United States and brought the house down both in New York's legendary Blue Note and at the Detroit Jazz Festival as well as in London's famous 606 Club. The terrific rhythm section with the virtuosic bass-player, KRISZTIÁN PECEK LAKATOS and one of Hungary’s greatest drummers and bandleaders ELEMÉR BALÁZS is also a force in its own right.
