Guitar Madness, Opus Jazz Club Budapest, 15 August
The collaboration of three top jazz guitarists is a real curiosity in the Hungarian music scene: István Gyárfás, Attila Rieger and Gábor Szalay are not only excellent players of their instruments, but also outstanding bandleaders, composers and music teachers. Márton Soós (bass) and Balázs Cseh (drums) are also among the most sought-after jazz musicians in Hungary.

Last year, the band released a new album, Hommage à Gábor Szabó, which pays tribute to the unique work of the most famous Hungarian jazz musician of all time.

The music consists of original compositions by the members, the titles and mood of which refer to the stages of the guitar legend's extraordinary life – from the beginnings, through the height of his success, to his return home, his illness and his premature death.

The album strongly indicates that the band is not just offering guitar treats, but their primary goal is to focus on and keep alive the musical legacy of Gábor Szabó.
