Hungarian bandleader Zsolt Bende presents his latest project—a dynamic new trio that reflects his journey through diverse musical landscapes. Born and raised in Romania, Bende discovered his passion for jazz in Budapest before continuing his studies at the renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston. There, he collaborated with some of today’s most sought-after international jazz musicians.
Since then, he has become a familiar name on the European jazz circuit, performing and teaching extensively across the continent. Now based in Hungary, his presence is making a significant impact on the local jazz scene.
In this trio formation, Bende is joined by two outstanding and forward-thinking musicians who embody the spirit of the contemporary international music world.
Bende’s latest album as a leader, Cycle of Change, was released on Hunnia Records.
