2024. február 12.
Clara Barry nevével sajnos egészen Szandai Mátyás haláláig nem találkoztam, pedig a közös munkájuk visszanyúlik több évre. Kiderült, hogy még magyarul is megtanult, hogy eredeti nyelven énekelhessen Bartók darabokat a szerző iránt érzett tisztelete miatt.

Zipernovszky Kornél
2024. január 05.
The world-jazz quintet of Israeli violin player Omer played at the Budapest Jazz House, which is in fact a house party, organised and hosted by Berklee-trained Hungarian guitar player Zsolt Bende, himself a globetrotter. These house concerts have been going on for a couple of years there, the address is revealed for patrons prior the event, but look for Dohány street, if you are not that familiar with the Bulinegyed (party district) of Budapest yet.

Martien Oster is permanent member of the Vincent Herring Quartet. He has recorded albums with Dr. Lonnie Smith & Diana Krall, among others. He moved to Budapest a couple of weeks ago to help one of his sons with his studies. Whilst here, he has found himself absorbed by the exciting jazz scene in Budapest. He even visited the Érdi Jazz Club with the Gyárfás-Premecz Organ Trio, and we asked him to join in which he did, so we could enjoy his guitar playing.

2021. január 05.
We usually hear about the Erasmus programme when someone we know of wins a scholarship to another country, but we pay less attention to those who win an Erasmus scholarship to our country. They spend half or even a whole year in Hungary at a Hungarian university. Filip Dinev from Macedonia was admitted to the Liszt Ferenc University of Music thanks to this programme, and the result is an album.

Bridge on the River – Nikolett Pankovits links two worlds enchantingly
Zipernovszky Kornél
2020. augusztus 16.
Much of the music that gets pigeonholed as „world music” nowadays has a problem: it wants to bridge the two banks, ancient and modern so much that it forgets about the water underneath. New York-based Hungarian singer Nikolett Pankovits has come forward with a brilliant new record. River seems to me about knowing where the water flows, where the banks are, and how to bridge those distant banks.

Keith J. Taylor
2020. július 10.
On Wednesday, July 1st, it was my great pleasure to attend the Opus Jazz Club’s post-lockdown re-opening concert in Budapest, performed by the Mihály Borbély Quartet. This was a magnificent demonstration of musical prowess by one of Hungary’s most distinctive, well-celebrated jazz combos.
