After playing the saxophone for only six months, he was picked out by broadcaster Robert Maloschik of the Hungarian (Public Service) Radio and was featured as part of a group of equally talented youngsters with whom he appeared at the Getxo Jazz Festival in Bilbao. Since then he has been playing with the leading jazzmen in his own country. During the summer of 2003 Gábor was the only Hungarian and the only teenager who qualified for the semi-finals of the World Saxophone Competition held at the Montreux Jazz Festival. He brought the house down when he played but failed to make the finals. He also knocked out the audiences at the Yatra Jazz Festival in India and at the Bucharest Jazz Festival too.
