In 2026, Santa Diver, one of the most unique bands on the Hungarian jazz scene, will celebrate its 20th anniversary. The band consists of jazz violinist Luca Kézdy, multi-instrumentalist and composer Dávid Szesztay, and drummer Dávid Szegő, who has also been active as a composer in recent years. The three instruments and personalities represent a truly unique musical world, found at the intersection of jazz, world music, and modern creative. Their sound is defined by the unusual lineup (violin, bass guitar, drums), Luca Kézdy's unique violin playing with its wide emotional spectrum, colorful and melodic bass lines, and experimental, sometimes extreme, delicate yet energetic drumming.

Besides Hungarian festivals and clubs, the trio has also performed at numerous festivals abroad: Chelsea Music Festival, NYC (US), Cairo Jazz Festival (EG), Südtirol Jazzfestival (IT), Sparks & Visions Jazz Festival (DE), Amersfoort World Jazz Festival (NL), Voll Damm Festival Jazz Vic (ES), Gaume Jazz Festival (BE). 

Their 20th anniversary will be marked with a new album release and a series of concerts, beginning at the Opus stage. In addition to their latest compositions, they will of course also perform a selection of their most memorable songs from the past 20 years. The album is planned for release in the fall of 2026.
