Kristóf Bacsó Triad

Kristóf Bacsó ist ein angesehener, vielfach ausgezeichneter und international erfahrener Jazz-Saxophonist. Heimisch verwurzelt und  mit globaler Ausrichtung - formuliert einer seiner Kritiker.
Ende 2012 hat er zusammen mit Tzumo Arpad (Fender Rhodes) und  Marton Juhasz (Drums), beide ebenso erstklassige und international ausgezeichnete Jazzmusiker, das Kristóf Bacsó Triad gegründet.

Fünfeinhalb Jahre lebt und arbeitet Kristóf Bacsó zunächst in Frankreich, dann in den Vereinigten Staaten.
Er trat in zahlreichen europäischen Städten auf, spielte auf Jazzfestivals in London, Pescara und Barcelona, sowie in diversen renommierten Jazzclubs.

Ein vielseitiger Performer der sich sowohl im Mainstream- und Ethnojazz, als auch innerhalb der zeitgenössischen Musik wohl fühlt. Durch das Zusammenspiel richtungweisender Musiker der jungen ungarischen Jazzgeneration ist das Bacsó Kristóf Triad entstanden.

Das Repertoire der Band umfasst eigene Kompositionen, neben denen auch die gemeinsamen Improvisationen sowie ungewohnte Klangfarben und das Streben nach Harmonie ein wichtiger Bestandteil sind. Ihre Musik beflügelt, sie ist frei und erfrischend, energetisch und aus der Gegenwart schöpfend.

The trio was founded at the end of 2012 as a contribution of the three decisive and versatile musician of the young Hungarian jazz generation. In their repertoire are their own compositions, however, the collective improvisations get a big role beside the composed sections. Their music is fresh, energetic and it is influenced by the central-eastern European spirit.

Kristof Bacso was born in Budapest, and started studying the saxophone under Dezso Lakatos Ablakos and Mihaly Borbely. He graduated from the jazz department at the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music, then continued his studies first at the Conservatoire de Paris and later at the Berklee College of Music in Boston; his teachers included Francois Jeanneau, Francois Theberge,
Joe Lovano, George Garzone, Hal Crook and Bill Pierce. He won first prize at the talent contest organized by Hungarian Radio for young saxophonists in 1999.

For five-and-a-half years he lived and worked in France, then the United States, while he also performed in many European countries including the London Jazz Festival, the Pescara and Barcelona Jazz Festivals, and in several famous jazz clubs (Sunset, Sunside, Porgy and Bess, Pizza Express, New Morning, etc.). He has played in line-ups of a wide variety of styles from mainstream jazz, through ethno music, to contemporary music, with renowned musicians such as Eddy Henderson, Nico Morelli, Giovanni Mirabassi, Tony Lakatos and Gerard Presencer.

With his quartet he performs his own compositions, in which jazz and contemporary music are combined with a central-eastern European spirit. They played in many festivals in Hungary and in Europe. Their last album – called Alteregos- is released in 2008 at BMC Records, and received excellent reviews. His second album – entitled Nocturne - is published in 2012.
