2017. February 07.

Sunday night saw a spectacular gala concert, the closing event of the tenth Jazz Showcase. The most prestigious such gathering of the region was the venue of nine up-and-coming young talents to showcase themselves for the audience as well as the professional panel. For the first time, the audience could cast their votes not only in person at the venue, but also online.

The judges’ award went to the Tamás Ludányi Quartet and the audience’s choice award was won by Janka Vörös and her band, e-Series. These two bands will be featured at Müpa Budapest’s future events, e-Series at the 20 August Jazz 0820, Müpa Budapest’s traditional season opening jazz festival and the Tamás Ludányi Quartet on the International Jazz Day on 30 April 2018.

Special prizes were awarded to Gino’s B Version, the Balogh Gyula Quartet and “best soloist” Cintia Horváth.
