Àbáse

Àbáse presents a jazz project that combines contemporary jazz with Afrobeat, Brazilian percussion and electronic grooves, created by Hungarian producer, composer and keyboardist Szabolcs Bognár. The concert takes place at The Jazz Cafe in London.

Àbáse is a jazz project built around the creative vision of Szabolcs Bognár, a musician from Hungary who works as a producer, composer and keyboard player. The music brings contemporary jazz together with Afrobeat, Brazilian percussion and electronic groove culture. Gilles Peterson, MOJO, Soulection and Okayplayer have all championed the work.

The sound draws on a wide mix of global references, shaped by residencies and collaborations in Brazil, New York, Ghana and South Africa. Madlib, Azymuth and corto.alto are cited as reference points for the project.

The Jazz Cafe, at 5 Parkway in London, is a venue that mainly hosts concerts, with jazz at the centre of its programme.
