What Robi Botos’ friends are saying:
Robi Botos plays the piano with love and with mastery, a care for details and nuance which is readily apparent, and a joyful, giving heart which one can easily feel. anyone who appreciates jazz or the piano or beautiful, passionate and sophisticated music is likely to find robi’s music an enrichment. I recommend him wholeheartedly to any curious listeners, and am of faith that once one has heard him, his sound and the expression of his honest humility are not likely to be forgotten. -BENNY GREEN
I met Robi Botos at the Montreaux Jazz festival’s piano competition. We unanimously agreed with judges Michel Camilo & Gary Burton that Robi should be the winner of the competition. Then It was great fun to play with him, and listening to his surprisingly talented drumming too:) – HORACIO “EL NEGRO” HERNANDEZ
“I find Robi’s playing very refreshing. He plays out of the jazz tradition but is able to put his own spin on it. I love that he is always playing in the moment. He is a wonderful improviser and has all the tools to become one of the best…” – JOEY CALDERAZZO
Robi Botos brings a burst a fresh air to the the already crowded keyboard/pianist pool.
His playing is modern, musical, filled with great melodies, prodigious but not overly used technique, and he has a wonderful way of reaching back to his Hungarian roots and swinging like mad at the same time! – RANDY BRECKER
