eBIT had its first jazz event, the eBIT Jazz Club on 17th March, 2009. The special event of the night was the concert by two internationally renowned jazzmen, bringing the audience to some exciting and extraordinary fields of jazz music.
At the piano an honored Bulgarian composer and improviser, Lubomir Denev introduced his own jazz compositions with intonations easily recognizable after the characteristic combinations of Balkan modes and rhythms with the jazz idiom. He was complemented by Attila László on the guitar, a Liszt-award winner and well-known jazz musician and composer of Hungary. The duo covered popular jazz standards and own compositions, made even more exciting by their colorful play and virtuoso improvisations.
The event was opened by the speech of Liana Usunova, commercial attache from the Bulgarian embassy. It was covered by the Hungarian Television in a short introduction and was supported by the Hungarian-Bulgarian cultural radio, and was also a respected and prominent event of Hungarian Jazz scene.
We would like to thank our guests for joining us this night that we hope will be the first event of a long lasting tradition.
