The Daniel Szabo Quintet, featuring stellar players of the LA-jazz scene, will play a repertoire from their NEW album, music that is energetic, playful, interactive, and is not lacking in lyrical moments either. The leader of the group, pianist-composer Daniel Szabo, has a unique tone, showing multiple influences, including his Central-Eastern-European roots. Szabo has toured worldwide and collaborated with such giants as Peter Erskine, Chris Potter or Kurt Rosenwinkel. His chamber jazz album, “Visionary”, was selected by JAZZIZ as “Best Albums of the Year 2019”, alongside Brad Mehldau and Esperanza Spaulding.

In March of 2022, invited by Chick Corea's management, Szabo was one of the three Corea-mentored pianists who premiered Chick's jazz piano concerto, alongside John Patitucci and Dave Weckl. On December 5th, Szabo will perform a two-piano show with Grammy-award winner Danilo Perez, at the Palace of Arts, in Budapest.  Szabo was the winner of the ASCAP/Symphonic Jazz Orchestra Commissioning Prize; the Grand Prize of the City of Paris at the “Martial Solal International Jazz Piano Contest” and the “Jas Hennessy Solo Piano Competition” at the Montreux Jazz Festival.
