Guitar in Focus at 5th Mol Jazz Festival

As in previous years, the festival's organisers aim to help audiences explore new and exciting musical experiments. Performances will take place at several venues: at the Palace of Arts, on the Jazz Boat anchored in the River Danube, in the Pinceszínház theatre and in a tent on Közraktár Street.

The opening and closing events will be held at the Palace of Arts. On September 12, Michael Schiefel, the Miklós Lukács Quintet, Richard Galliano's Tangaria Quartet, Alegre Corr?a, the Kornél Horváth Duet and the Lionel Loueke GilFeMa Trio will all perform. The evening's entertainment starts at 19:30.

On Thursday, September 13, the list of performers will include the Thärichens Tentett who present poems by Lord Byron, Thomas Hardy and R. D. Laing with musical accompaniment, and the Dutch band The Ploctones, whose music might best be compared to Back Door. Hungary will be represented by the Babos Projekt Special, the Dresch Quartet, Mojo, Nigun, Lower House with Tamás Zámbó, Trió 1, Tiszavirág and the Zsolt Bende Trio.

On September 14, the tent in Közraktár Street will be the venue for a concert by the Norwegian band Supersilent, who merge jazz with ambient music, the Perico Sambeat Quartet and the Gábor Juhász Trió with Iain Ballamy.
