Jancy Kőrössy & Elek Bacsik: légendes du jazz hongrois

The pianist Ramona Horvath, musical heiress of Jancy Krssy, brings together an international quartet to revive their universe through original arrangements and contemporary reinterpretations. A visionary pianist, Jancy Krssy has developed a unique language mixing bebop, swing and Eastern European musical traditions, becoming one of the most prominent personalities in jazz behind the Iron Curtain. Guitarist and virtuoso violinist, cousin of Django Reinhardt, Elek Bacsik distinguished himself by his stylistic freedom and his collaborations with Serge Gainsbourg before continuing his career in the United States.

This concert highlights a musical heritage still unknown and celebrates the exceptional contribution of these two artists to the influence of European jazz.

A mini-conference supported by Philippe Baudoin will accompany this rediscovery.
