Jazz Talent Exchange - Toni Snétberger Quartet

Now organised for the tenth year by Müpa Budapest, the Jazz Showcase is firmly established as the Central and Eastern Europe region's most important jazz talent exchange. Just as last year, the youngsters will be able to compare their skills before an invited international jury, who will judge them on their talent and innovative artistic vision. The productions deemed most original and exciting will be rewarded with further opportunities to perform thanks to collaborations between Müpa Bud...apest, the Hungarian Jazz Federation and a number of festivals. We also continue to value the opinions of the jazz fans in the audience: The audience prize-winner from performers on the three days will be invited back to perform at Müpa Budapest before too long.

The Toni Snétberger Quartet made its first appearance in its current form in May of 2016. The young drummer got to know the present line-ups's Slovakian upright bassist Adrian Szajkó at the Snétberger Music Talent Center. They were joined by the talented guitarist/violinist Csaba Danyi and 24-year-old pianist Zsolt Farkas. With their music rooted in Roma musical traditions, the success of a 2016 appearance in Italy immediately brought them the opportunity to record an album in the studio of renowned audio engineer Stefano Amerio.
