Featuring:
Krisztián Oláh - piano
Kálmán Oláh Jr - soprano saxophone
György Orbán - double bass

Krisztián Oláh won 3rd place at the 2015 Montreux Jazz Festival at the age of twenty, after which he toured with musicians such as Al Jarreau, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Nils Petter Molvær or Joe Sanders as part of a two-week academic program. In the following years he won the Junior Prima, Creative Art, Orszáczky and Gramofon awards, and in December 2018 - as the first Hungarian musician - he was invited to the international jazz competition of the American Thelonious Monk Institute, where he competed among the 14 best jazz pianists in the world. His own formation, which expanded into a quartet, released his first album of all his own compositions, At the back of my mind, in February 2020. The debut of the album was a great success in Prague, Krakow, and the Palace of Arts, among others, starring the fantastic Rick Margitza. The Parallel Reflections suite, which combines jazz with a string orchestra, was presented at the Academy of Music in October 2020. The band came out with a second album in March 2022: in Crescendo, they are joined by Miklós Lukács.
