"She sings jazz standards with captivating feeling and an incomparable style. In the last few years, I have rarely enjoyed a vocal performance as much as hers."
Péter Pallai
Harmony Jazz Workshop Foundation
the alma Bencze Quartet
Our goal is to showcase the accessible and lovable side of jazz for everyone, and we strive to provide an experience at every concert that is understood and enjoyed not only by jazz enthusiasts but also by those just becoming acquainted with the genre. We aim to interpret the songs we play not only through the music but also by taking the lyrics into account, ensuring that this often-overlooked component becomes a full-fledged part of the musical experience. The result is a refreshing blend of the melodic and captivating pulse provided by a collectively composed framework and the improvisational freedom inherent in jazz.
We are convinced that:
- Jazz does not have to be niche
- When familiar melodies are played, the audience can connect better with the concert.
- It is more enjoyable when you know what the song you are listening to is about.
