Pavel Klikar and Original Prague Syncopated Orchestra featuring special guests, 25.3.2026 I will stay true to my word: I won’t be a hypocrite and claim a personal grief I didn’t earn. I still did not know the man personally, but after last night’s sold-out concert at the Prague Central Library, I have begun to understand […]

Central Library (Great Hall) | Wednesday, March 25th, 2026 I am stepping outside my usual routine today, but every rule deserves an exception. I want to draw your attention to an event shaped by a “gut feeling”—something I am only just beginning to understand. Pavel Klikar, the Czech musician, teacher, and founder of the Original Prague

Adam Tvrdý Trio @ AghaRTA Jazz Club 22.3.2026 Hand Adam Tvrdý a Les Paul, Petr Dvorský a double bass, and place Jiří Stivín Jr. behind the kit, and you get the powerhouse known as the Adam Tvrdý Trio. This energetic, intense, and melodic group commands attention from the very first note—a fact once again proven

Osmosis – Album Release @ Jazz Dock | March 22, 2026 As I mentioned recently, this Jazz Spring 2026 is so vibrant and all-encompassing that I don’t recall anything quite like it in the six and a half years I’ve spent in this European jazz capital. Osmosis, one of the most exciting newcomers on the Czech scene,

Libor Šmoldas Quartet: Sorry, Miles! Libor Šmoldas’s 12th album is a bold tribute to the master himself, Miles Davis. It’s an ambitious project years in the making, fittingly released in the centenary year of Miles’ birth. Before I dive in, a reminder: I’m no music expert. I don’t know the technical jargon; to me, a

Libor Šmoldas Quartet @ U Staré paní 11.03.2026 I’ve lived in this blessed “Jazz Republic” for six and a half years now, but I don’t recall a spring so vibrant and all-encompassing. There is a richness and a high standard of quality here that is simply characteristic of the music in this country. Last night

Bohemia After Dark feat. Kosma Busheikin @ U Staré paní | 6.3.2026 Again? Yes, again! Because they can, and I’m worth it. Looking at my website, it’s no secret that a huge part of my life belongs to music—specifically good music. Last night, I wanted to pamper myself after a few hard “working” days, and

Motosalon Brno 2026 It’s that time of year again—the season when fathers and sons get that same wistful look in their eyes, though for very different reasons. The older generation remembers the miles gone by; the younger dreams of the roads yet to come.It’s the weekend where chrome shines, leather is the only fabric with

Petr Dvorský Quartet: Tribute to Ray Brown @ Jazz Dock 2.3.2026 The history of music is littered with “supergroups” that look perfect on paper but fail to spark on stage. Last night at Jazz Dock was the glorious antithesis of that. We witnessed some of the elite of the Czech jazz scene as the Petr

Libor’s Jam Session @ U Staré paní 25.2.2026 The story continues. Last night, Libor’s jam session packed the house at U Staré paní once again. I could say “normal” session, but there is nothing ordinary about it. The music starting at 20:00 and running until closing time +, without a break, these nights are defined
