Bille Gergő Quintet & Kornél Fekete-Kovács Presented by Liszt Academy

Trumpet and flugelhorn player Gergő Bille formed his group in the Liszt Academy Jazz Department, since when they have won first prizes at the Jazz Showcase and Get Closer competitions. The quintet’s repertoire features exclusively their own compositions bearing influences of modern, American jazz as well as various trends in global music such as funk, hip-hop, Latin beats or drum ’n’ bass. All five musicians play an equal part in shaping their own sound; their music runs from mainstream jazz to elusive avant-garde. Their concert (a must-see for fans of modern jazz) is joined by guest artist Kornél Fekete Kovács, leader of Modern Art Orchestra, legendary instrumentalist, composer and last but not least, brilliant trumpet player.
