Jazz festival in capital of Hungary – Budapest

On May, 21st I was at a final concert of jazz festival: the Budapest Jazz Orchestra and the star from the USA – Mr. George Duke, keyboard & vocal. Magnificent playing both has not left anybody indifferent in a hall, the concert passed in new complex "Ludwig Museum". Improvisation feelings was transferred from musicians to public, filling a hall by atmosphere of the big holiday. It is necessary to note excellent acoustics of a hall and very modern design.

With it the young vocalist who the temperament charges not one Duke (fourth on the right in the general picture) goes on tour. In the performance program there were products of a "classical" jazz and compositions by George Duke from its albums.
I have made some pictures which are presented on this page.
