Mihály Tabányi (1921-2017) was a world-famous accordionist and one of the most popular jazz musicians of the 1940s and 1950s, and is credited with introducing the swing style to Hungary. He performed with many national and international stars, both at home and abroad, and his work represents an important chapter in the history of popular music.
