Performers


Little Jazz Band (Hungary)

Little JB

The Little Jazz Band was founded in 1995 by elementary school students in Kecskemét. They mainly interpret the music of the roaring twenties and early thirties. One of the characteristics of the band is the featuring of two reeds which makes them stylistically flexible by switching between clarinets and saxes. Besides playing the simple but enjoyable arrangements, they vocalize as well. The band has performed at the International Bohém Ragtime & Jazz Festival since its foundation and they have also been featured at other Hungarian jazz festivals and abroad. The group has played in Germany and Romania. The Little Jazz Band received a Special Prize at the First Hungarian Youth Jazz Competition in Budapest in 2000. As far the youngest group, the Little Jazz Band won second prize at the International Louis Armstrong Memorial Jazz Competition in Sainte Adresse, France in 2001 and 2002 and then won the competition in 2003. At the latter festival leader of the band, Attila Korb received first prize in the dixieland composition contest for his tune called Snow. The group finished as second at the Saint-Raphael New Orleans Jazz Festival (France) in 2004. The band's first CD entitled Too Busy came out in 2001, the second one (Shoe Shine Boy) in 2004.
