Szabó Dániel Quintet

The members of the Szabó Dániel Quintet are top musicians active in Hungary and internationally. They mostly perform the compositions by the bandleader: progressive, but accessible and stimulating music. The repertoire is characterised by intense and joyful interaction between the members, complex rhythmic world, lush melodies and modern harmonies. They will play favorites from Intersections, the album recently released by the American version of the band (Daniel Szabo Quintet), along with several new compositions.

Szabó is active both in Hungary and in the US, having worked regularly with musicians such as Peter Erskine, Chris Potter and Joe LaBarbera, as well as with the younger generation of American musicians. His most recent album, Visionary, was a chart-topper in the prestigious American magazine JAZZIZ, with Brad Mehldau and Esperanza Spaulding. Chick Corea's management has asked Szabó to perform the final movement of Corea's Bartók-inspired Jazz Piano Concerto, dedicated to Müpa Budapest, with John Patitucci and Dave Weckl, in the spring of 2022. With his former mentor, the Grammy-winning Danilo Perez, Szabó gave a two-piano concert in December 2023.
