Info for Song Of The Day

"I founded the Balázs Rodek Trio in 2018 with such talented and sought-after young musicians as bassist Ádám Bögöthy and drummer Dàniel Ferenc Szabó. You can somehow feel who you are on the same wavelength musically with, who you can imagine working with. For me, Ádám and Dani are like that. I try to go to all their concerts where they play in other excellent formations or with their own formation and get inspired of their playing. With them I made my first trio album, which is titled Song of the day. Song of the day is a concept album telling the story of a day with a composition relating each time of a day. The listener can choose the song that is closest to him or her, the song of the day. We have been performing this show regularly since 2018, we won a special prize at the 2020 MÜPA Jazzshowcase festival, we have played at all the important venues in Hungary several times (Zemplén Festival, Budavár Wine Festival, Budapest Jazz Club, Zsolnay Quarter in Pécs, Szeged, Vác, to name but a few)."
