Branford Marsalis and his quartet return to Müpa Budapest three years after their last performance here. Their programme will be based on the material of their 2019 album, The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul, but the world-famous American saxophonist and his friends will also perform a brand new piece, which was commissioned by Müpa Budapest and is based on Hungarian folk music.
Marsalis is one of the most influential saxophonists of contemporary jazz, who never stops reinventing himself, while still radiating exuding a certain permanence. He is an uncompromising musician with close ties to African-American musical traditions, which makes it all the more important he has found inspiration in authentic Hungarian folk music for new musical ideas.
