Now organised for the tenth year by Müpa Budapest, the Jazz Showcase is firmly established as the Central and Eastern Europe region's most important jazz talent exchange. Just as last year, the youngsters will be able to compare their skills before an invited international jury, who will judge them on their talent and innovative artistic vision. The productions deemed most original and exciting will be rewarded with further opportunities to perform thanks to collaborations between Müpa Budapest, the Hungarian Jazz Federation and a number of festivals. We also continue to value the opinions of the jazz fans in the audience: The audience prize-winner from performers on the three days will be invited back to perform at Müpa Budapest before too long.
Well known from the Jazzy Hungaricum radio programme, Girly Groove is László Bokros's upbeat pop band originally founded in 2009 as "Groovy”. It took its current form after undergoing numerous changes in name and membership. At the 2014 Jazzy Song Competition, the group won the award for best lyrics with a recording of Pontosan tudod (You Know Exactly). Their repertoire features both their own songs and jazz and pop hits, which they play with carefree and unconditional love for the music. They will be coming to Jazz Showcase with a programme compiled especially for the occasion, including one brand-new song written in honour of Müpa Budapest.
