Bálint Gyémánt’s Trio is no stranger to the international jazz scene. Their album Vortex of Silence, released by the German label Jazzhaus Records, has reached jazz audiences across Europe and as far afield as China in recent years. However, the Hungarian power trio will be making its debut in the United Kingdom.

Hungarian Bálint Gyémánt, best-known internationally for his long-standing partnership with singer Veronika Harcsa, is one of the most diverse and imaginative guitarists and composers in contemporary jazz. His artistic credo is all about freedom, experimentation, and the search for new opportunities and a range of sound colours. Two years in the making, Gyémánt’s new trio album, “Vortex of Silence” (Jazzhaus), features young bassist Vince Bartók and drummer Dániel Ferenc Szabó, and is designed to let listeners “reinterpret the harmony and disharmony of the world through music”.

With special thanks to the Hungarian Cultural Centre and Harmónia Jazz Workshop for their valued partnership in supporting this event as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival.
