The Emma Nagy Quintet represents the new Hungarian generation of modern, contemporary jazz. Their experimental spirit plays an important role in shaping their sound, with heavy drum grooves, free improvisations, contemporary compositions in the form of songs, and other unique solutions equally featured in their pieces. Contrasts and dissonance, improvisation and diversity, joy and spleen, contemporary sentiment, and grotesque, raw expression are all part of their style, revealing a kind of dreamlike charm. However, this diversity is not an end in itself, but serves to enable the band to delve deeper into the layers of chamber music on stage. In October 2025, their fifth album will be released: with Altered States, focusing on emotions and moods, the band ventures deeper into the world of popular music than ever before, while retaining its unique edge and character.
