Budapest Ragtime Band Live in London
2012. 07. 07.
Stage in London proudly promotes Budapest Ragtime Band in London, at POSK Jazz Cafe.
BRB accepted an invitation to the prestigious 28th Birmingham International Jazz & Blues Festival but they have availability to share their delightful music with the audience of London.
The Budapest Ragtime Band was founded in 1980 by former students of the Franz Liszt Music Academy of Budapest.
The high standard and creativity of their performances have made them one of the most prestigious jazz bands in Hungary in the last decades.
The repertoire of the ensemble includes pieces of traditional ragtime and classical music, swing melodies, Dixieland music, and instrumental solos as well.
Besides nurturing the traditions of ragtime music they are also performing pieces of other traditional American genres. The unique and extraordinary shows of the very popular band of Spike Jones gave them the idea to prepare and play humorous adaptations, and parodies of classical music pieces like Strauss’ Blue Danube Waltz, Khachaturian’s Sword Dance, Brahms’ Hungarian Dances and the Monti Csardas to name a few.
