This multi-award winning young Hungarian pianist is already making a real name for himself in his native Hungary, which given the remarkable standard of jazz piano playing out there says a great deal for his impressive talent. An alumnus of the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, in 2013 he won both the "Junior Prima" prize and the National Jazz Combo competition with his trio and in 2015 was a finalist in the highly prestigious Montreux Jazz Piano competition. Not surprisingly he has appeared with some of the finest European jazz musicians around, performing worldwide in countries including Japan, Greece, Germany and Portugal. And if all that wasn't enough he is also an accomplished jazz drummer(!), teaching jazz drums at the Kodolanyi Janos University. Tonight he will be performing a mix of jazz standards and some of his excellent modern jazz originals in a trio setting accompanied by a stellar UK rhythm section of Arnie Somogyi (Stan Tracey, Steve Grossman) bass and Martin France (Loose Tubes, Kenny Wheeler) on drums. Highly recommended.
