I believe that would be Tamas Benyei's "Hot Jazz Band" from Budapest.
They are among the finest musicians I know and Bev will indeed be
jealous that she missed them because she thinks of them as "her personal
band."

Leader Tamas Benyei plays both trumpet and banjo and has an amazing
command of both.

All that talent in one so young . . . sheesh!
