Hot Jazz Band

The Hot Jazz Band, celebrating its thirty-fifth anniversary in 2020, is best known and loved by Hungarian audiences as the contemporary interpreters of early jazz and the Hungarian popular music of the interwar period, as well as the music of the Karády, Kabos, Jávor and Latabár films.

In the second half of the 1990s, they were the only Hungarian jazz ensemble to win four international competitions in France, the most notable of which was the International New Orleans Jazz Competition in St. Raphael, where they took first prize out of 54 bands. American successes have not been lost in the band's life. They have visited the birthplace of jazz six times. In Sacramento, California, the world's largest jazz gathering, they were twice the most popular band at the festival. Last year, they released their 14th album, "A Little Pig", which consists mainly of songs written for children. The Hot Jazz Band has twice won the eMeRTon Award, the Líra Award, the Louis Armstrong Memorial Award, the Silver Tree of Life Award and the Kossuth Prize in 2015. In the cobuci garden you will hear some of the best-known covers, such as "My baby is a black woman", "I have no deposit in the bank", "Hello Baby" and "I'm there for you".
