The steady flow of elite jazz immigrants to Denmark has somewhat waned in recent years but every so often a fully developed foreign phenomenon relocates to the Nordic jazz haven. And when present day jazz fans hear Hungarian saxophonist Gábor Bolla play in venues around Copenhagen, it harkens back to a lush, joyous time in Danish jazz. Like the aforementioned American expats did in the 60s, Gábor Bolla carefully and confidently assembles bands of local talent combined with stars from abroad.
The now 33 year old saxophonist and band leader has established himself as one of the most significant rising stars on the scene.
Over the past decade he has been working with Kirk Lightsey, Albert “Tootie” Heath, Gary Peacock, Alvin Queen, Randy Brecker, Jimmy Wormworth, Mike Stern, Robert Hurst, Gregory Hutchinson, Alex Riel, Jesper Lundgaard and many more.

On his new album “On The Move” Gabor has put together a stellar lineup and presents a program of his own compositions and standards. The band features his long standing musical companions: Robert Lakatos on piano, Daniel Franck on bass and drummer extraordinaire Billy Drummond from New York.
