This three-day festival inspired by the jazz city of New Orleans is enjoying its seventh highly successful year. The event, dedicated to connecting the dots between traditional jazz and swing, will kick off on Friday, 26 August with the Bohém Ragtime Jazz Band, whose members have been making music for a quarter of a century. They will take the audience back in time to the 19th century in an attempt to demonstrate, with dozens of musical illustrations, how Ferenc Liszt – born 200 years ago – infl...uenced jazz music and ragtime in particular. It is surprising to learn just how much traditional jazz owes Liszt and his Romantic contemporaries. By drawing general musical parallels and highlighting connections between individual numbers, the band reveals that ragtime and early jazz would not have been possible without Liszt and the Romantic virtuosi. The leader of the “Bohemians” is Tamás Ittzés, winner of the Hungarian Radio Piano Competition in 2003. He is joined by guest pianist Bálint Zsoldos, who highlights hidden connections from the classical music perspective – in highly entertaining fashion. Presented by: Palace of Arts
