Sena Performers International Jazz Laureate Festival 2024: Lilla Orbay Quintet

Lilla Orbay is one of the most outstanding personalities of the young Hungarian jazz generation, who uses her musicality not only as a singer, but also as a composer and bandleader. In this formation, her piano playing is also decisive, and her fusion with the instrument is most reminiscent of the character of Norah Jones. The majority of the repertoire is characterized by her own compositions with a light but exciting tone. The form and structure of the pieces are mainly based on the melodic focus of the 70s, but in contrast to this, the unique improvisational vocabulary of the band members is added to the music. Line-up: Lilla Orbay – vocals, piano Márton Stummer – guitar Bruno Barakonyi – double bass Ambrus Richter – drums Patrik Sebestyén – trumpet This concert is part of the Sena Performers International Jazz Laureate Festival (SPIJLF). During this concert series, ten international festivals get the chance to put a promising jazz talent from their own country in the spotlight, and thus give a kick-start to their international career. This year, talents from the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Spain, Thailand, Italy, Australia and Bulgaria will present. This concert is endorsed by Jazzfestival Budapest All participating festivals are partners of the World Jazz Network, an international collaboration of jazz festivals and venues to promote the exchange of jazz talent beyond their own national borders.
