One of the most important Hungarian bands defining the early era alongside with Illés, Omega and such, formed in the late 50es. First they played jazz, but in 1964 they crossed over into beat music. They became the most influential session and support band in the country, helping many talents starting their career. Bergendy is most famous for the period when Demjén Ferenc was their lead singer in the 70es. Their sound is quite distinct because of the big band roots and instrumentation.
