Salamon Tűzkő All Stars (HU)

About

Salamon Tűzkő began playing the classical trumpet, but was soon captivated by jazz, the theory and practice of which he also learned from his father. His quintet won a special prize at the Müpa Jazz Showcase in 2022, and has been active on the Hungarian and international jazz scene ever since. For this concert, the young bandleader has gathered the country’s most sought-after and acclaimed musicians: Krisztián Csapó (trombone), Máté Balogh (saxophone), Béla Szakcsi Lakatos Jr. (piano), János Egri (double bass), and Elemér Balázs (drums), to pay tribute to the jazz tradition. Their program features iconic hard bop arrangements with three winds of compositions by Miles Davis and Art Blakey, as well as their original pieces.
