Hungarian guitarist, composer Bálint Gyémánt is one of the most diverse and imaginative guitarists and composers in Hungarian contemporary jazz. Initially he studied classical guitar, and turned to jazz later on as a young adult. His artistic credo is all about freedom, experimentation and searching for new opportunities and range of sound colours. He’s best known for his long-standing partnership with singer Veronika Harcsa.

During his career he’s had the chance to perform alongside such outstanding partners as Shai Maestro, Joey Calderazzo and Erik Truffaz. With his new album (Vortex of Silence), produced by the German Jazzhaus Records, he is making a definite mark on the European Music Industry. He teaches at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in Budapest.
