Àbáse
nu-jazz latin jazz contemporary jazz
Influences: Azymuth, Madlib, Hermeto Pascoal
Szabolcs Bognár leads Àbáse on keyboards and electronic production, blending Afrobeat grooves, Brazilian percussion and beat-driven electronics with contemporary jazz harmony. The new album 'Nefelejcs' reworks Hungarian ethno-jazz through a beatmaker's lens, drawing on residencies and collaborations in Brazil, New York, Ghana and South Africa. Championed by Gilles Peterson and Soulection, the project is worth seeing for its live reinterpretation of Hungarian folk material within a global club-jazz framework.
