Teodor Pop
JazzyBIT is a trio consisting of Teodor Pop (piano, keys), Mihai Moldoveanu (bass) and Szabó Csongor-Zsolt (drums). Active since 2012 and combining jazz and rock with hints of blues, Latin, and funk. Their style is described as "loud jazz," similar to Hiromi playing with Snarky Puppy in a trio. All About Jazz compared them to the Esbjörn Svensson Trio, noting their blend of funky rhythms, tight musicianship, and witty arrangements.
The band released the debut album “Touch the Sky” in 2014, followed by the album “Horizon” in 2016. In 2021 JazzyBIT releases its third album “Drive“, mixed in New York City at the The Bunker Studio by John Davis (bass player of the band Jojo Mayer / Nerve) and mastered by Alex DeTurk, both awarded with the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album in 2019.
The band has a flourishing live activity, counting over 300 concerts in its 12 years of existence. Until now, JazzyBIT has played in 20 countries on three continents, participating in some of the world’s most famous jazz festivals, like the Blue Note Jazz Festival in New York, Jarasum International Jazz Festival in Seoul (South Korea), Eurojazz in Mexico City (Mexico), Katara European Jazz Festival in Doha (Qatar), A to JazZ Festival in Sofia (Bulgaria), Belgrade Jazz Festival in Serbia, Vilnius Mama Jazz Festival in Lithuania and several appearances at the Gărâna Jazz Festival and Jazz in the Park in Cluj-Napoca (Romania).
