SZABÓ DÁNIEL QUINTET

The Szabó Dániel Quintet is a "middle generation" supergroup, consisting of highly acclaimed musicians both in Hungary and internationally. The quintet plays progressive music that is also accessible and stimulating for the audience. Intense and joyful interaction, complex rhythm world, sprawling melodies and modern harmonies characterize their performance. Intersections was released in November this year and was recorded in Los Angeles with Dániel Szabó, who is also active in California, and his American colleagues. What makes the performance on the "domestic" track particularly exciting is the interpretation of the compositions with Hungarian colleagues, who add new colours to the music, drawing on their own cultural background and strong individuality. Dániel Szabó regularly works with musicians such as Peter Erskine, Chris Potter and Joe LaBarbera, alongside the leading representatives of the young generation of American jazz. His most recent album, Visionary, was one of the chart-toppers of the prestigious American magazine JAZZIZ. Last year, Szabó performed the final movement of the Jazz Piano Concerto composed by Chick Corea for MÜPA at the posthumous premiere, accompanied by John Patitucci and Dave Weckl.
