A pianist in the vanguard of Europe’s most imaginative players, Yaron Herman is best known for his alchemic abilities, transmuting unlikely pop sources from Britney Spears to Björk into modern jazz gold dust. A dynamic live performer, here launching his new ACT album, Follow the White Rabbit.
In 2007 four Hungarian musicians had the inspired notion to re-invent chanson, jazz, Brazilian music, film themes and gypsy traditions, from an evocative Budapest café culture of the 30s and 40s. The expanded Budapest Bar is led by the virtuoso violinist Robert Farkas and features cimbalom player Mihaly Farkas and international guests, including the brilliant Scottish pianist Brian Kellock.
Part of the London Jazz Festival in association with BBC Radio 3
