Mihály Borbély, who is equally at home in the fields of folk and world music, jazz and contemporary music, and who is extremely popular both in Hungary and abroad, is one of the leading figures of Hungarian jazz as a performer and composer. The folk music heritage of the Carpathian Basin and the Balkans is strongly present in his works, organically combined with elements from the various jazz tendencies or even from the music of the twentieth century classics. His playing combines exciting melodic turns with subtly translucent and powerful rhythms, while lyrical phrases enter into dialogue with energetic gestures.

They welcome American trumpeter-composer J Kyle Gregory as their guest, who came into contact with the Hungarian jazz scene during his studies in Hungary, and has played several gigs with the Borbély Quartet during his occasional visits to the country. In another joyful encounter, we will witness moments born out of a true musical friendship: lyrical compositions and energetic pulsating pieces, original compositions and jazz evergreens will be on their programme.
