June Sparks
LFZE Open Jam: The Dóra Moldovai Quartet sets the tone on 2026.06.30, and the ALERANT Jazz Night brings Budapest Bossa Nova the same evening, blending conservatory-honed chops with breezy city swagger. It’s a strong start to a calendar that favors variety without losing focus.
July Rolls Deep
July opens with the Frankie Látó Quartet (07.03), then Test Jazz Group (07.04) drives the weekend. On 07.07, SITMOB shares the date with BJC Zenetábor (BJC Music Camp), which continues 07.08 and 07.09 alongside the Attila Kiss Band on 07.09. The Gypsy Jazz Band keeps the strings flying on 07.10, followed by Elsa Valle Bakary (07.11). Mid-month brings the Gábor Szalay & Zsolt Bende Duo (07.15), then the Egri Jr. Trio featuring Attila László (07.16). The Summer BJC Jam Session series rolls out free-entry nights: Károly Gáspár Trio (07.17), János Egri Trio (07.18), and Péter Pintér Trio (07.25), with the Noémi Nagy Quartet closing the month’s free jams (07.31). In between, Szigeti Juli Band (07.21), AppleBlue (07.22), Gina Kanizsa: Vocalese Trio (07.23), Lucy Markus – LOTUS album launch (07.24), S.K.Y. Chronicles – Fanni Sárközy and Friends – MAGIA (07.28), Double Weisz Quartet (07.29), and a second Budapest Bossa Nova set (07.30). It’s a tight arc from acoustic nuance to groove-heavy nights.
Festival Stretch

Global Names, Autumn Glow
International energy spikes in October: world stars arrive for the Jure Pukl – Joe Sanders – Gregory Hutchinson Trio (10.02), a crystalline lineup that promises high-velocity interplay, followed by the Andy Sheppard Trio (10.17), where lyricism meets edge. By late fall, Vilmos Gryllus: Winter Concert (11.22) ushers in seasonal calm with a refined touch.
