Imre Kőszegi, awarded with the Liszt Prize and the Officer’s Cross of the Order of Merit by the Republic of Hungary, is one of the most prominant drummers in Hungarian jazz life. During his career spanning over sixty years, Kőszegi has played with such Hungarian and international stars as Aladár Pege, Dezső Lakatos “Ablakos”, György Vukán, Béla Szakcsi Lakatos, Frank Zappa, Teddy Wilson, Kenny Wheeler, Art Farmer, Frank Foster, Charlie Mariano, Steve Grossman, Gary Bartz, Lew Tabackin or Trilok Gurtu, and has performed in the most significant concert halls, festivals and clubs in Europe and Hungary.

Kőszegi, an extremely active musician up to this day, was last seen in Opus as member of the new quintet of Béla Szakcsi Lakatos. This time, however, he is arriving to the club with the most recent quintet of his own, the Kőszegi Rhythm & Brass & Electronic in which the long-standing Kőszegi-Rozsnyói-Orbán trio is extended with two outstanding talents trumpeter Balázs Pecze and tuba player Roland Szentpáli.
