Dresch Mihály

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dresch Mihály Dudás (born Budapest 1955) is a Hungarian musician and composer. Dresch is primarily a saxophonist but also performs on clarinet and the traditional Hungarian flute.

Dresch was studying to become an engineer when he turned to jazz. Although influenced by jazz saxophonists such as John Coltrane, he has striven in his work to fuse traditional Hungarian music with the improvisatory elements of jazz. He has performed at jazz festivals worldwide, such as the London Jazz Festival and recorded with artists such as the American saxophonist Archie Shepp.
