Join us for a wonderful exploration into Jazz with Lorinc Barabás and his friends. Despite his modest years, trumpeter Lorinc Barabás had already worked with an enormous number of top players from the contemporary music scene of his homeland.
This new show will combine well-tried formulas with local specialties, mixing up electro and minimal with jazz-funk, improvisation, and the good groove that's sure to get you on your feet!
