The musical world of Pastell Contemporro can be described as contemporary jazz based on Bartókian traditions, drawing on the jazz avant-garde of '60s America, and also using elements of folk, bop and swing. The band is also characterised by a grotesque-ironic tone and audience-friendly humour. Active since 2008, the jazz quartet was founded by pianist János Weisz and saxophonist Attila Borkó, joined by Márton Eged (bass) and Sly Juhász (drums). All four musicians play in other bands with distinguished artists such as István Elek, Márton Fenyvesi, the Transform Quintet and Bálint Gyémánt. They perform regularly in the biggest Hungarian clubs and have also participated in the Budapest Music Expo.
