Jámbor Ármin Quintett (HU/TR/HR/AT) / Opus
The young Hungarian saxophonist has a sophistication that belies his age, which is not only evident in his – otherwise incredibly virtuosic – playing, but also in his compositions. Ármin is a lover of tradition, so he likes to draw on the work of the great jazz forebears
Schedule
His musical talent came through at an early age; after years of studying classical music, he turned to jazz, where he eventually found his own path. He had the opportunity to perform on stage with world stars such as Jim Rotondi, Renato Chicco, Luis Diego Bonilla, John Riley and Rick Margitza. In recent years, he has released two self-penned albums, Crazier Out There (2021) and Bad Odyssey (2022). For this concert, the saxophonist, who studied at the University of Music in Graz, has invited musicians of different nationalities but based in Graz, and is joined by his trumpet player friend Dániel Hofecker, with whom Ármin co-founded the Nexus Lineup sextet. The ensemble won 1st prize and a special prize at the Hungarian Jazz Association's Budapest Orchestra Competition, and 2nd place at the Zilina International Jazz Contest.
