Their tone is inventive, their playing technically flawless, confident and completely unified. Listening to the music of this trio of 12 years, they are characterized by nuanced musical virtuosity. Their music reflects an exceptional talent for improvisation. They are undoubtedly outstanding, exceptional musicians. Their soaring melodies, sensitive dynamics and tight rhythms, with the amazing power of their collective playing, will leave you in awe. The piano, bass and drums flawlessly convey the motifs. Three musical giants focus all their knowledge into a single point in the Szakcsi Jr. Trio." Leila Fitt

Szakcsi Jr. Trio
The members of the trio are internationally renowned, prominent representatives of the Hungarian jazz middle-age class, and their playing style has all the characteristics of original, unadulterated, chamber jazz. Following in his father's footsteps, Szakcsi Jr. mastered the tricks of jazz piano playing at an early age, and his playing style, rooted in bebop, can really flourish in the traditional piano-bass-drums line-up.
They have already performed with many famous European and American jazz musicians such as John Patitucci, Jack DeJohnette, Ed Thigpen, Ravi Coltrane, Jean Toussaint, Palle Daniellson, Tony Lakatos, Pat Metheny, Mornington Lockett.
