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.
Recently graduated vocalist Janka Vörös, winner of first prize at the First National Jazz Competition and of the Dezső Ablakos Lakatos and Sólyom scholarships is, as a soloist, vocalist and songwriter alike, one of the key figures of the Hungarian popular music world. The band e-Series was formed in 2013 from outstanding young Hungarian fusion musicians, with their first album, introduction, coming out the following year. The mixture of both standard and surprising stylistic hallmarks creates a unique effect. Their objective is to erase boundaries of genre.
