About

ZSOLT BENDE is a jazz guitarist and composer born and raised in Romania and a leading figure in the Hungarian jazz scene. He studied in London and at the Berklee College of Music, Boston, where he rubbed shoulders and performed with some of the most in demand musicians in todays international jazz scene. Bende was shaping his unique and colourful music through touring in the USA, U.K. and Brazil before returning to his native central Europe. In England he joined forces with leading British bassist Arnie Somogyi with whom he recorded several albums and later as a founding member of Neil Yates "Five Countries Trio". Bende is the leader of his own quartet and just released his latest recording, "Cycle Of Change".

“Zsolt is a great guitarist. I always have been an admirer of his tone and his sense of melody and composition. The Quartet is tasty. `Cycle Of Change´ is simply beautiful.”

— Lionel Loueke

Recordings

Neil Yates, Five Countries

Bende´s subtle and emotive acoustic guitar work has a bright edge that contrasts beautifully with Yates´ softer horn sound. Bende´s light and deft approach is truly melancholy on his own lilting ballad, "Freedom Lost".
