Twenty-five years ago, four highly skilled French musicians decided to take the freedom of jazz and the pulsating sound of funk, and shape them into an entirely new concept by exploiting the possibilities offered by electronica. The experiment proved successful, and Electro Deluxe was born in Paris. Later, courtesy of American singer James Copley, the band discovered new vistas to explore. Over the years, they have won over legions of fans, especially through their thrilling live concerts, which have included memorable shows at some of the world’s most important jazz festivals, including Marciac, Vienne and Montreal. Always on the lookout for new challenges and opportunities for collaboration, the team will be joined at the Jazz Spring festival by the superb brass players of the Budapest Jazz Club Big Band as they fill the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall with opulent sounds.
