The programme of the Budapest Jazz Festival presents the most important figures of modern jazz as well as a showcase for young talents and new sounds, and aims to have as many joint productions as possible on stage involving the stars of Hungarian and international jazz. The Festival is eight years old this year and has elected to place Spanish and Belgian jazz into central focus. The idea came from the rotating presidency of the EU in which Spain will be succeeded by Belgium, followed by Hunga...ry. The closing concert of the five-day Festival begins with the Rooms Trio comprising of pianist and composer Hans Lüdemann, bass player Sébastien Boisseau who is well-known from the MOL Festival and drummer Dejan Terzic who is a major figure in modern European jazz. The second half of the concert brings the Festival to an exciting and passionate end: the legendary Hungarian father of folk jazz, Mihály Dresch, as well as Mátyás Szandai, America prodigy drummer Hamid Dreak and the pianist, acclaimed by critics for inheriting the mantle of Thelonius Monk, Lafayette Gilchrist.
