XJAZZ! Budapest / Àbáse (HU/DE)
Featuring:
Szabolcs Bognár - keyboards, electronics
Musicians from Berlin and Budapest
Having already gained support from the likes of BBC Radio 6 Music’s Gilles Peterson, Worldwide FM, Stamp The Wax, Earmilk, Complex, Soulection, Okayplayer and KEXP, Àbáse released his long anticipated debut EP ‘Invocation’ in 2019 via HHV Records and Cosmic Compositions and early 2021, released the critically acclaimed ‘Body Mind Spirit’ EP, a collaborative electronic exploration with drummer/producer Ziggy Zeitgeist.
The word “àbáse” comes from the West African Yoruba language and stands for “collaboration” – a key element of Àbáse’s music, as he brings together versatile artists from around the world to
push genre and style boundaries. As a trained keyboard player, Bognár has been active in the versatile music scene of Budapest for many years. He’s been leading several successful acts, including Solqlap Budapest and The Mabon Dawud Republic, a fourteen piece afrobeat orchestra hosting Felabration Budapest and guest-starring the likes of Dele Sosimi and Pat Thomas. After residencies in Paris, Lyon, New York, Rio De Janeiro and Salvador, Àbáse is now based in Berlin, where besides pursuing his solo career, he is also the keyboard player for Nigerian soul singer Wayne Snow and Australian jazz drummer Ziggy Zeitgeist’s Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange.

In the musicality of the Szilvia Bognár Sextet, three musical worlds meet and intertwine. The outstanding performers of the Hungarian jazz and world music scene, also highlighting their individual styles, combine folk songs of different nationalities with the characteristic motifs and moods of jazz and Indian classical music into a harmonious whole.
Springing off a sound reminiscent of acoustic piano trios of the 50s and 60s, Oùat explores the memory and perspectives of hand crafted, collective, music making. Jazz in its most open operative meaning, in which improvisation is a real necessity, stimulates the trio to confront and investigate our times of sounds and movements.
The Visegrad Jazz Exchange is a new project of the V4 countries, initiated by the Jazz Po Polsku Foundation, to promote artistic cooperation between musicians and music institutions. The members of the project band, formed especially for this occasion, are all leading representatives of the current jazz scene in the four countries.
