19:30
Concert Hall

Marc Erbetta - drums
Guest: Veronika Harcsa – voice
Thanks to his saxophone-playing father, the French trumpeter Erik Truffaz received an early introduction into the world of professional musicianship playing in his father's dance band at the age of ten. As he grew older, Truffaz performed with other bands in the region until he was 16 and heard Kind of Blue by Miles Davis. This inspired him to learn music more intensively, and he became a student of the Geneva Conservatoire. In 1991, he made the first of his three appearances on the stage of the Montreux Jazz Festival.
Erik Truffaz Quartet, founded in 1997, is above all a collective, a sound, a group dynamic. Their albums, released on the legendary Blue Note Records label are stretching the boundaries of contemporary jazz by incorporating drum'n'bass, hip-hop rhythms and rap.
The line-up of the quartet performing at the Budapest Spring Festival is almost the same as it was by their 1997 forming, except that keyboards are played by the group’s former sound engineer Benoît Corboz, since 2010.
One of Hungary’s most talented jazz singers, Veronika Harcsa, who feels at ease in a wide range of music from traditional vocal jazz to electronica, from duo to symphonic orchestral performances, from soundtracks to contemporary dance projects, will be the guest vocalist of the quartet on a good part of the concert.
