The trumpeter is Kornél Fekete Kovács, one time leader of the Budapest Jazz Orchestra and presently heading the Modern Art Orchestra, one of the best on his instrument in this country. All the international star soloists who have ever played with his bands, like Dave Liebman, Peter Erskine, Johnny Griffin or Wallace Roney hold him in high regard.

He is a terrific team-builder – as you’ll, no doubt, notice – and a great supporter of outstanding new talent. This time he presents youngsters of stellar quality like the virtuoso trombonist, Attila Korb, pianist Áron Tálas, bass-player Márton Soós, drummer László Csízi and vocalist Flóra Kiss.
