If Hungary isn't at the forefront of many musical genres, jazz is a certain exception. And here's where it starts: 3 days of new Hungarian Jazz talent, from 16:00 till 20:00.
Tickets are astonishingly good value at 600Ft a day. It's worth that just to check out the Festival Theatre alone.
Professional acts roll up at 20:00 but that costs more too: 1000Ft - 2300Ft. Tonight synth prodigy Zsolt Kaltenecker leads a new trio with mantra guitarist Péta Lukács and drumming sensation Gergő Borlai. Tickets and details here.

Caspian Hat Dance (Concert)
Sirály, 8th January, 21:00
Self-proclaimed "masters of the face-guitar and smack-smack-drum" claim to play "drunk wedding music" and they do: the gypsy, klezmer version, with a touch of Dutch madness. Myspace here.
Elizabeth (Film)
Örökmozgó, 8th January, 20:30
Before Cate Blanchett was Bob Dylan, she was Queen Elizabeth and a pretty convincing one too. "I may have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a concrete elephant." A bit more realistic than Miranda Richardson? Compare here and here. Incidentally, this is the acclaimed 1998 film, not the maligned "Golden Age".
Cimbali Band (Concert)
Pótkulcs [map], 21:00, 8th January, free
Cementing its position as the hangout for a new generation of cimbalom fans, Pótkulcs hosts Cimbaliband, who feature accordian and... wait for it... a cimbalom! Watch them here, myspace here.
Maximo-Pop Indie Party (Club)
Filter Club, 8th January, 22:00, free
The night starts off with a live set from Virgo who are largely a Placebo, Garbage and Muse covers band. After 22:30, the punkers kick it with the indie-kids and the beat-niks to DJ sets of indie, pop, 80's new wave and post-punk until they shuffle themselves to sleep.
