Caspar Thorpe and Bence Babcsán wrote their first original composition, titled naphajlat, in the spring of 2024. As a result of this collaboration, they continued to work together as a duo: the backbone of their ever-expanding repertoire consists of original compositions and arrangements that draw on the soundscapes of Hungarian and Balkan folk music. Their musical world emphasises natural sound and a refined style of expression, paired with polished, focused instrumental playing. Capturing the essence of folk music, they sometimes create intimate atmospheres, while at other times they invite the audience to dance with rhythmic, light-hearted music. For this concert, they are joined by guests Tamás Smuk and Nikolas Mantzourakis, with whom they perform their favorite Bulgarian, Romanian, Armenian, Macedonian, Greek, and original melodies, spiced with plenty of improvisation. In addition to the instrumental melodies, Bori Magyar’s enchanting voice makes the program even more memorable.

Legacy of Native Sense

Budapest Jazz Club / Ujlipotvaros / Map

Legacy of Native Sense is a duo project created by vibraphonist Mátyás Szigeti and pianist Szabolcs Horváth, paying tribute to one of jazz’s most celebrated musical partnerships, that of Chick Corea and Gary Burton. The ensemble takes its name from the duo’s acclaimed 1997 album Native Sense, widely regarded as a landmark recording in the modern chamber jazz tradition. The repertoire focuses on compositions featured on Native Sense, with the musicians striving to capture the album’s distinctive musical spirit and sound world as authentically as possible. Through the rich tonal palette of the vibraphone and piano, a strong sense of chamber music interplay, and the freedom of improvisation, the duo offers both a tribute to the artistic legacy of Chick Corea and Gary Burton and an exploration of one of the most compelling traditions in modern jazz. Mátyás Szigeti – vibrafon, Szabolcs Horváth – piano

Dezső Oláh Trio: Intermezzo (HU)

Opus Jazz Club / Ferencvaros / Map

“Have you ever felt that our life is just an intermezzo? We spend most of our time trying to achieve our goals and desires but on the way towards the destination, there are several stations. These stations are connected by intermezzos before we know how, when, why and with whom we will travel on. Can it be the time when we truly live? While standing at the crossroads, we have a chance to contemplate. To live the very moment. The end of the day always includes the possibility of the following day – just like Tuesday is hidden in Monday, then Wednesday in Tuesday… How to go on? The only thing we know is that there will never be two Wednesdays which are the same. Problems change but the journey doesn’t: forward! We just try to lead Monday into Tuesday, and so on…”, says Dezső Oláh about his trio programme Intermezzo.
