Jazzation, the acapella vocal group proved to be a massive hit in Hungary’s most popular jazz venue, the Budapest Jazz Club. Three girls and two boys turned in a brilliant performance in front of a house packed to the rafters. Their radiant voices and their joie de vivre coupled with a minimalist but very effective choreography enhanced a most versatile fare. The repertoire included jazz standards, rearranged folk songs and brilliantly updated gems from the musical treasure trove of old Budapest. The performers’ happy informal approach coupled with the highest professional standards embodied the sort of shot in the arm jazz badly needs today to bring into the fold those alianted by it’s over-intellectual image. (Peter Pallai, Budapest Jazz Club)
Five singers, four albums, three ladies, two gentlemen, in one word: Jazzation. This multi-award-winning acapella group from Budapest (Hungary) has already wound its way into international jury’s hearts in Graz, Pinerolo, Leipzig and Aarhus, but what they feel most proud is having shared the stage several times with wonderful vocal groups and experts from all around the world (e.g. Bobby McFerrin, The Real Group, The King's Singers). While authentic vocal jazz is their main profile, Jazzation also performs vocal world music inspired by different cultures, as well as numerous original arrangements.
