Drummer and composer Balázs Bágyi is one of the most respected musicians of the Hungarian jazz scene today, working internationally, leading his own bands over the last two decades. Being a member of different bands he creates music almost in all genres, his unique melodic style of playing the drums gives a complex music experience. He has toured the USA several times, and he is the only Hungarian jazz musician who regularly plays in China. His previous quartet, which existed from 2004 to 2011, was a very important band on the Hungarian ethno-jazz and world music scene. The music of his new quartet contains less of the folk background but sounds like today's pure acoustic jazz based on post bop elements.

JUNE 28 // JAZZTERRACE 2024: GÁBOR SZALAY ORGAN TRIO

2024 June 28.
GÁBOR SZALAY ORGAN TRIO

Gábor Szalay - Guitar
Albert Horváth – Organ
Balázs Bágyi – Drums

admission: donation // start: 19:00

Most of the trio's program, founded in 2023, consists of their own compositions and the compositions of the excellent jazz composer and pianist Theonius Monk. The joint playing of organ and guitar is not new in jazz music, this fact is also proven by countless recordings of jazz guitarists with organ.
In addition to the fact that they can complement each other in terms of sound, it also has a practical role, as the organist's left hand replaces the double bass, while he can also play harmonies with his right hand in the accompaniment. When the organist improvises, the guitar takes over the accompaniment.
Among other things, this playing together makes the trio's music special.
