SZALAY GÁBOR ORGAN TRIO
Szalay Gábor – Guitar
Horváth Albert – Organ
Bágyi Balázs – 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.
