Guitarist, composer, arranger, and professor at the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music, Gyula Babos is one of the best known personalities of jazz life in Hungary. He founded the Babos Project Romani in 1998. They released their debut album for Sony Columbia in the same year entitled Once upon a time..., which is the realization of Babos' intention to fuse jazz with Hungarian and Gypsy folk traditions in his own way. Babos introduced the group not only in Europe, but also in England and in Israel at the Red Sea Festival. "Seventy-five Minutes Live", his latest release features the celebrated percussionist Trilok Gurtu. On this album, East, West, and Middle-Eastern Europe meet in Babos music.
