A 29-year-old female bass player from India. These few words are enough for most people to immediately think of Mohini Dey. Despite her young age, pages could be filled listing all the artists and festivals she has performed with and at since the age of nine. It was her father, also a bass player, who started her on her professional path, a journey which has so far brought her into contact with Steve Vai, Zakir Hussain, Quincy Jones, Vinnie Colaiuta, and Gergő Borlai. She is currently a permanent member of singer Willow Smith’s accompanying band. The amazing figures she has racked up on social media attest to her popularity. Although her background lies primarily in fusion jazz, funk, and rock, she is also well versed in Indian classical music. She and her band, which Hungarian jazz fans will be delighted to learn, features Dániel Szebényi on keyboards, is certain to tear up the stage of the Festival Theatre on the closing day of the Jazz Spring festival.
