PÉTER SÁRIK AND HIS GUESTS A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Péter Sárik’s efforts to locate jazz amidst interpretive frameworks beyond what we are ordinarily accustomed to have proved to be remarkably successful. Fellow musicians Tibor Fonay and Attila Gálfi have (since 2012) been solid and dependable partners of this great pianist who is endowed with breath-taking improvisational skills, a streak of true compositional originality and an entertaining stage presence. Their presence has largely contributed to the unbroken run of successes of Sárik’s Jazz Request Show. Once again the trio and their guests perform along these tried-and-trusted lines, although naturally the three singers of very different characters will lend the evening a special tone. Tamás Berki is an old partner of the pianist and somebody who takes improvisation seriously, as the 2015 Fonogram Prize for their album Minden délibáb shows. The Liszt Academy represents an important link between Berki and Veronika Harcsa: they had a teacher-student relationship in the Jazz Department, and during his Radon Trip concerts Sárik discovered a common voice with Veronika. Luiza Zan comes from Romania, where during the Csíki Jazz Festival the band leader discovered this singer who has great experience in Romanian folk music and classical music.
