Nicola Conte, Veronika Harcsa Bring Act to Budapest

English

Conte, a central figure on the nu-jazz scene, was so impressed with a performance by Harcsa, singing with the Erik Sumo Bank at last year's Balaton Sound festival (where Conte also played) that he asked her to contact him. Just a few months later, after an exchange of emails, Harcsa appeared on stage with Conte at the Micca Club in Rome. From there, the two launched a tour of Europe, performing in venues from Leuven to Vienna.

 
Conte is a guitar player, producer and DJ who is renowned for making danceable jazz. His remixes can be found on many compilation albums, including The Kings of Jazz, a project of Gilles Peterson and Jazzanova. Conte's recordings are released on the Blue Note label.
