Jazz For You – Carnival Concert under the Enchantment of Jazz

The Steve Jazz Trio is made up of three teachers from the jazz department of the Béla Bartók High School of Music and Dance in Miskolc, who although excel primarily in the jazz genre, are also at home in the field of classical music.

Pianist István Bundzik is a member and founder of several jazz formations: Fusio, Junior Art Quartett, Miskolc Dixieland Band, Click Jazz Band, and he tours the world’s stages as a permanent piano accompanist of violinist Katica Illényi. Bass player Gyula Horváth, in addition to playing in symphonic and chamber orchestras, is a fan of the jazz genre, so the audience can recognize him mainly from such musical formations. Jazz drummer Gábor Kacsenyák does not stick to a single musical genre either, in addition to running a private drumming school, he also teaches classical percussion in several institutions, and appears on domestic stages in several light music ensembles.

The light-hearted atmosphere of the concert will be one of the real treats of the carnival period, where both the audience who likes classical music and those who are attracted to jazz will find works that suit their taste. In addition to the jazz arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Dongo, the works of Piazzola, Cole Porter and Gershwin also fit in well.
