GABOR BOLLA saxophonist on HammondCast KYOU Radio

Watch Video *Here:


From Budapest Hungary, Gabor Bolla at age 19 is already playing like a veteran Jazz Man here in New York City. He is currently here on a special scholarship award from Vienna Art Orchestra to go play with and meet New York musicians, one of which is me, Jon Hammond! I heard Gabor blow at our weekly Monday Night Jazz Jam Session at Local 802 Musicians Union and right away I knew he was going places, so I am happy and proud to present him on my daily radio program 'HammondCast Early Edition' on KYOU Radio 1550 AM. It is no surprise that Gabor is a close friend of the great Hungarian tenor sax star Tony Lakatos who I am very lucky to play with also in Germany and we play Tony's music often on HammondCast. Visit Gabor's website: http://thebollaquartet.com and see where Gabor is going next! *As heard on KYOU Radio ©2007 http://www.HammondCast.com *note: watch for cameo appearance from Gabor's father Bela Bolla ! (he has the best saxophones in Budapest in his shop)
