Since 2014 we have played nothing but timeless jazz standards, live. Our core line-up is a quartet, joined by a vocalist on request. We play so that the music sets the mood without demanding attention.
Our story
From duo to quartet
We started out in 2014 as a duo — piano and saxophone, a line-up that fits into the smallest of spaces. That duo is still part of what we offer, for intimate occasions in small rooms — typically exhibition openings.
Feedback over the years, and our own experience, led us to move to a four-piece line-up — piano, saxophone, double bass and drums give a much richer sound than a duo. Today the quartet is our core line-up, and the duo remains a small-format option for the right occasion.

The line-up shown here is our usual one — there may occasionally be a stand-in.
Piano, saxophone, double bass — for tight spaces, for up to two hours. For a longer occasion the quartet gives a fuller sound.

How we play
We play in the background so that you stay centre stage
We play in sets, at a volume that suits the room: quieter on arrival and over drinks, livelier towards the end of dinner. The aim is always the same: music that sets the mood without demanding attention.
The band is based in Debrecen, but we take bookings up to about three hours' drive away — which includes Budapest and the eastern half of Hungary, and in some cases across the border: we have played in Romania too. We don't go further than that, because a long journey means a tired band and an unnecessary surcharge.
