Budapest Music Center

The Balázs Elemér Group – whose small line-up can be heard this evening – is one of the most popular jazz bands in Hungary, founded in 2000 by the internationally acclaimed jazz drummer Balázs Elemér. The band, whose members are at the forefront of Hungarian jazz, has developed an outstandingly unique world of sound, characterized mainly by melodic focus and special rhythms. Their music is varied; they enjoy adventuring among musical genres while drawing inspiration from a wide variety of cultures.

The iconic album, Around the World, released in 2002 by the BMC Records, features a special interpretation of world music, we can read the words of world-famous guitarist Pat Metheny: "Elemér is one of the best drummers around right now, in my opinion. He plays with such musicality and finesse and has the ability to listen inside each musical moment with the kind of spontaneous decision - making that allows everyone that plays with him to sound their best. He also has a wonderful touch on the instrument - I always enjoy the chance to play with him and to hear him".
