Electric Bebop Band Budapest (HU)

About

The Electric Bebop Band Budapest was founded in early 2023, inspired by Péter Cseh. The connection with Paul Motian's band of the same name is obvious, which, under the leadership of the legendary jazz drummer, acted as a kind of musical incubator in the last decade of the previous millennium – names like Kurt Rosenwinkel, Ben Monder and Joshua Redman turned up there in their youth. For the six members of this unique, multi-generational band, the search for and experience of freedom is the most important common denominator. The repertoire is made up of now-classic pieces by outstanding figures of the bebop era, such as Monk, Parker and Bud Powell, which give new generations of musicians the opportunity to reinterpret and express themselves through them.
