Two years later, he was a founder member of the Souther...n Plains Saxophone Ensemble who perched themselves on the border between jazz and folk music, but he has also been a member of the Vízöntő Band, the Grencsó Collective and Kampec Dolores. With the Southern Plains Saxophone Ensemble he primarily played alto and tenor saxophone as well as bass clarinet. Besides jazz, he played much Hungarian and Jewish folk music (Etnofon Music Company, Odessa Klezmer Band), as well as arrangements (Kati Szvorák and Kőfaragók Band) primarily on bagpipes, clarinet and pipes. Since the late nineties, he has been increasingly involved with composition. This process was launched with the Ágoston Trio and their CD Live and Live (1999) and led to the Ágoston Quartet, the Agostones and Zuboly. The guest soloist at Béla Ágoston’s concert will be the world famous American trumpeter and composer Frank London who most know from the Klezmatics and the Hasidic New Wave groups. Besides leading his own bands, his playing can be heard on over a hundred CD recordings. He has created his own musical world from East-European Jewish roots and jazz rhythms and worked with such artists as John Zorn, Lester Bowie, Esma Redzepova and Maurice El Medioni.
