Egri Jr. Trió feat. László Attila

János Egri Jr., winner of the Creative Art and Junior Prima awards and the 2021 “Young Jazz Musician of the Year,” will take the stage at the Opus Jazz Club with his own trio. The pianist and composer has been an active participant in the domestic and international jazz scene since the age of 18; his playing is characterized by an open and natural blend of modern mainstream jazz, classical traditions, and influences from contemporary and popular music. His distinctive sound, technical confidence, and improvisational freedom have been praised by world-renowned artists such as Antonio Faraò and Tony Lakatos. With his trio, he achieved outstanding success at the Müpa Jazz Showcase, where he won four special awards, followed by a series of domestic and international performances—including at London’s 606 Club and the International Leibniz Jazz Festival.

His partners are János Egri on bass, who brings lyrical sensitivity and a sure hand in shaping grooves, and Dávid Hodek on drums, a virtuoso who plays with elemental energy; together, they create an inspiring and dynamic rhythmic foundation for their collaborative music-making. Attila László, a Ferenc Liszt Prize-winning jazz guitarist, composer, and teacher, enriches the trio’s sound with new dimensions as a guest artist. The concert program features primarily the band members’ own compositions, with a focus on the energetic, groove-centered world of fusion jazz—a meeting of modern sound, free improvisation, and lively, interactive music-making.
