The House of Jazz has many rooms. The two guitarists Tibor Eichinger and Stefan Varga have lived in one of them since 2004. Their pieces are a surprising and smart fusion of Western and Eastern European sounds, beats and grooves. After 5 albums together and countless concerts, the German and the Hungarian travel through sound worlds of all kinds: jazz, rock, classical, ethnic, Balkan. Technical finesse and vital joie de vivre become dazzling musical mosaics. Tibor Eichinger (H) – guitar & composition, born in Nyíregyháza, trained at the Béla Bartok Conservatory and the Franz Liszt Music Academy in Budapest, has gained Europe-wide recognition as a bandleader, composer and guitarist since founding his first jazz quartet in 1994. Outside of his band, he has worked on plays by the Kréta Kör ensemble, written film music for Györy Szomjas and András Szöke, and performed with Gábor Gadó and the Bop-Art Orchestra. He has released numerous CDs of his own. Stefan Varga (D) – guitar & composition, studied classical guitar at the Wiesbaden Music Academy and jazz guitar at the University of Mainz. Since then, he has worked with many jazz and rock bands and written film music for ARTE/ZDF.
