Daniel Szabo Quintet

The Daniel Szabo Quintet, featuring stellar players of the LA-jazz scene, plays music that is energetic, playful, interactive and is not lacking in lyrical moments either. Its leader, pianist-composer Daniel Szabo, has a unique tone, showing multiple influences, including his Central-Eastern-European roots. Szabo has toured worldwide and collaborated with Peter Erskine, Chris Potter and Kurt Rosenwinkel, among many others. His chamber jazz album, “Visionary”, was selected by JAZZIZ as the “Best Albums of the Year 2019”, among such names as Brad Mehldau or Esperanza Spaulding. His trio was featured in the “Mellon Jazz Up” series hosted by Danilo Perez at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia. In March of 2022, invited by Chick Corea's management, Szabo was one of the three Corea-mentored pianists who performed Chick's jazz piano concerto, alongside John Patitucci and Dave Weckl at the Palace of Arts. He was the winner of the ASCAP/Symphonic Jazz Orchestra Commissioning Prize; the Grand Prize of the City of Paris at the “Martial Solal International Jazz Piano Contest” and the “Jas Hennessy Solo Piano Competition” at the Montreux Jazz Festival.
