Why This Event Is a Must-See
Budapest’s experimental jazz scene is renowned for its innovation and boundary-pushing performances, and Less Is More 4 stands at the very heart of this creative movement. For over fifteen years, this group—originally known as the Less Is More trio—has been a defining force in Hungary’s free music landscape. With the addition of Bálint Bolcsó’s live electronics, the band evolved into Less Is More 4, and now, with the arrival of acclaimed drummer Attila Gyárfás, the quartet is entering an exciting new chapter.
This concert is not just another gig—it’s the debut performance of Attila Gyárfás with the band, following the departure of founding drummer Zsolt Sárvári Kovács. Expect an evening charged with anticipation, creative energy, and the thrill of witnessing a new lineup in action.
What Makes Less Is More 4 Unique?
Less Is More 4 is celebrated for its total improvisation approach. Every performance is a one-of-a-kind journey, where the spontaneous interplay between vibraphone, double bass, and acoustic drums is transformed in real time by Bolcsó’s arsenal of electronic effects. The result? Genre-defying, atmospheric soundscapes that push the boundaries of contemporary jazz and experimental music.
