This time Salamon Tűzkő's young but experienced ensemble of musicians will perform with one of the most renowned post-bop representatives of contemporary jazz, the American trumpeter Jim Rotondi. Rotondi is a professor of jazz trumpet at the University of Music in Graz, and so they met Salamon and went from teacher and student to colleagues. Throughout his career, Rotondi has played with the originators of the style, including Ray Charles, Curtis Fuller, Lou Donaldson, Joe Chambers, Lionel Hampton, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Eric Alexander and Bob Mintzer, among others, as a touring and recording partner. The concert programme will be largely defined by individual yet authentic interpretations of standards and the blues world, offering a real treat and a great experience for fans of the genre.
