PÉTER CSEH TRIO

The Péter Cseh Trio was formed in 2019 with three active members of the Hungarian jazz scene, who had already performed together many times before the formation of the band. Péter's compositions are the starting point for their joint work. These songs, despite using mostly traditional formal solutions and sounds, do not become predictable or clichéd. Instead, through contrasting moods – contemplative and soaring, childlike or even wildly scratchy – they present a unique aspect of modern mainstream jazz.

Each member plays an essential role in shaping the band's sound; by tuning into each other, they can achieve a rich, sensitive and dynamic sound. The music of the Péter Cseh Trio is influenced by the great guitarist generation of the '70s and '80s (John Scofield, Pat Metheny, Bill Frisell) and by Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker and Brian Blade.

The trio recorded their debut album, Plains to See in the autumn of 2022. The album's material has been gradually assembled from Péter's compositions over the past two and a half years. Drawing from a wide range of influences (including mainstream jazz, rock, contemporary classical and world music), the songs are unified by the trio's sound world.
