Coming from a musical family\, his unique dynamism and versatility was fostered from a very early age. \; An exciting performer and imaginat ive collaborator\, Nemeth is well regarded for his work with the Lionel Lo ueke Trio and GilFeMa and has also travelled\, performed and collaborated extensively as a bandleader\, co-leader\, sideman and educator as well as initiating creative projects of his own.\n\nFrom his early days at the Ber klee College of Music in Boston and the Thelonius Monk Insitute of Jazz in Los Angeles\, Nemeth has learned from and worked with the world&rsquo\;s finest jazz musicians and groups including Herbie Hancock\, Wayne Shorter\ , Terence Blanchard\, the Billy Childs Trio\, Bob Sheppard\, Dave Carpente r\, John Clayton\, Jimmy Heath\, The Henry Mancini Orchestra amongst other s. Relocating to New York in 2003\, Nemeth&rsquo\;s distinctive energy and drive saw his career continuing with many of the same musicians\, and als o expanding to include the likes of Christian McBride\, John Patitucci\, L ionel Loueke\, John Abercrombie\, Dave Samuels\, Mark Turner\, Hal Crook\, David Benoit\, \;Bud Shank\, Greg Hopkins\, Phil Wilson\, Dave Grusin \, \;Eddie Daniels\, \;Eddie Henderson\, Ron McClure\, Chris Cheek \, Aaron Goldberg\, Kenny Wheeler\, Eli Degibri\, Jonathan Kreisberg\, Joh n Ellis\, \;Omer Avital and most recently Ilayaraja.\n\nMany of his co llaborations have become long-standing partnerships spanning over a decade . \; 2003 was also the start of Nemeth&rsquo\;s involvement with GilFe Ma\, a trio also featuring Lionel Loueke and Massimo Biolcati. \; The trio\, who had been playing together since the Berklee days continued thei r creative efforts in this format with all three contributing compositions to the 2004 album\, eponymously titled\, GilFeMa (ObliqSound). \; Not withstanding\, college fraternity and friendship\, Nemeth&rsquo\;s natural great range coupled with his dynamism\, complexity and improvisation make s him a perfect partner in the Loueke-Biolcati-Nemeth cooperative. His con tribution here as well as with other collaborations is evidence of his gre at versatility\, which informs a unique musical personality. His expertise and vast knowledge beyond traditional jazz\, has also seen him move effor tlessly through contemporary jazz as well as pop\, rock\, electro-pop\, hi p hop and increasingly into ethnic and culturally diverse disciplines.\n Beyond the extensive repertoire of performance and recording\, Nemeth has also established his own label\, Dreamer&rsquo\;s Collective Records and i n 2007\, released his debut album of original compositions\, Night Songs t o much accolade and features such luminaries as John Patitucci\, Chris Che ek\, Mark Turner\, Lionel Loueke and Aaron Parks. Displaying sophisticatio n and self-assurance\, the recording has established Nemeth as a composer and arranger in his own right. \; A second project for the label\, due for release in the spring of 2012\, sees Joshua Redman\, Kenny Werner\, L ionel Loueke as contributors\, as well as a small wind orchestra. A side p roject for the last couple of years\, the Ferenc Nemeth Onion Project\, se es Nemeth venturing into the world of rock with Hungarian musicians.\n\nAn ever-present thirst for exploration and experimentation has seen Nemeth t ravel widely and play with musicians from a variety of backgrounds and cou ntries. This occupation in turn\, has also resulted in Nemeth&rsquo\;s reg ular participation in workshops and teaching programs in the United States and internationally\, the most recent being stints at the University of S iena and the Swarnabhoomi Academy of Music in India.\nFerenc Nemeth's webs ite DTSTART:20121218T200000 DTEND:20121218T220000 DURATION:PT3H LOCATION:San Francisco SUMMARY:FERENC NEMETH TRIUMPH BAND feat.
