Saxophonist-composer Kristóf Bacsó occasionally extends his musical horizon with guest musicians, as was the case when he recorded an album with bassist Lionel Loueke (Pannon Blue), creating a kind of fusion of Hungarian-focused contemporary jazz and West African-influenced improvisational music, and then, with his own band, Kristóf Bacsó Triad, he recorded another album together with guest bassist Daniele Camarda (Imaginary Faces).

The backbone of this evening is the songs from their next album, which they will record in the days after the concert for BMC Records. The trio will be joined both at the concert and on the album by fantastic bassist István Tóth, who will add to the sound with his guitar and double bass playing.

In recent years, Kristóf Bacsó has released four albums as a composer, and his compositions have been performed in a delightful orchestration by his trio, quartet, quintet or the Modern Art Orchestra, in which he has been active as a soloist and composer since the band’s foundation.

But of all these, he considers Triad as his own child, where he plays with two internationally renowned musicians, Áron Tálas and Márton Juhász. Their music blends elements of jazz and contemporary music with an Eastern European feel, with carefully crafted passages and collective improvisations playing an important role.
