Nagy Emma Quintet | Jazzudvar

Although the five members differ in many ways, it was clear from the outset that they were able to function successfully as a unit. An important factor in shaping their sound is their spirit of experimentation, with hard drum grooves, free improvisations, song-like contemporary compositions, and other unique solutions given equal emphasis in their compositions. This diversity is not an end in itself, but serves the purpose of allowing the band to reach the deepest layers of chamber music on stage. Contrasts and dissonance, improvisation and diversity, joy and spleen, contemporary sensibility and grotesque, raw expression, behind which a kind of dreamlike charm shines through.

Following their debut album Set to Face (2018, self-released) and Low Frequency Oscillator (2020, Sinistra), their third album, Synced was released in the spring of 2022 by the prestigious Swiss label Unit Records, and the material from the album was presented in March at the newly opened Hungarian Music House, where Márton Fenyvesi (who also participated in the work as a producer) and Kornél Fekete Kovács were guests of the band.

Their latest album, Return, was released in 2023 by Morotva Records: "It has five songs that are as different and as similar as we are. We've come a long way with them, traveling to Hűvösvölgy and Italy, but we put our hearts and souls into these twenty-five and a half minutes."

Their next album is expected to be released in the fall of 2025.
