Yesterday was the first day of the jazz festival. We went to see the Lukas Oravec quartet with the young Hungarian saxophone wizard Gabor Bolla. It was fast and exciting and made me think of being on Times Square at midnight. Then the final band of the evening - Eleven Big Band Budapest all crammed on the lower stage so that the band leader was just balancing on the edge. They played classics like Mac the Knife and Tom Jones Sex Bomb and people started dancing and we all sang the mysterious line, 'the swing is the boogie' and too soon it was all over.
