International Jazz Day
Ticket prices
At 6 pm, Egri Drive Stuff will let loose. The group was founded in the summer of 2018 under the direction of János Egri, one of Hungary's most experienced bass guitarists. Their music, grounded in groove and combining funk, soul and Latin rhythms and other jazz-friendly traditions, features their own compositions as well as adaptations. It will be particularly interesting to see the up-and-coming singer János Egri Jr., son of the band leader, take the stage as a special guest.
The closing set will be performed by drummer Bendegúz Varga's sextet. The group formed in March 2018 and Varga produced their début album Goldmund along with the best thirty- and forty-something Hungarian jazz musicians. Their adaptations, crafted with meticulous care and melding seamlessly into today's mainstream, find emotional and atmospheric unity with the group's own wonderful compositions, which allow plenty of room for improvisation. Their deeply emotional music is easy to understand and love, even by those new to jazz, as the audience at Müpa Budapest will soon be able to attest.
