KLB trió
Born on October 12, 1970 at Budapest. First studied classical music at the age of eight, then his interest turned to improvisation and composing music.
Earned his diploma in 1996 at Franz Liszt Academy of Music, Faculty of Jazz Piano. Later he studied as a private student (in 1996) in New York at Jaki Byard.
In 1999 his album was published „Songs From the 20th Century" and won the Jazz Record of the Year” prize. So far 14 albums were released under his name, out of them 10 were sold also in Japan, where these records were widely acknowledged both among critics and by the general public.
Since 1995 he has been working with the best hungarian musicians. Presently he plays in the K.L.B. Trio and in Zoltán Lantos’ Mirrorworld. He had many international concerts in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Japan, Russia, England, Austria, Romania and Poland. Since 2003 he has been also playing electronic keyboards and now the synthesizer is his key musical instrument. His characteristically individual style and „sound” is perhaps the best described by one of his critics: „We can perhaps find the basics somewhere in the vicinity of modal jazz, where the rhythm, polytextural mentality, method of musical performance and sound effects are always more important than harmony, still horizontal planes build on one another thus a strange vertical structure can emerge, i.e. we can hear and feel the harmonic texture. This musical world extends to several directions and still the audience can feel the clean forms and intentions, and not the intertwined tunes and receive a jazz music that is enjoyable in its every element.”
