Petra Ernyei Trio @ Jazz On The Roof | 9.5.2026 Yesterday marked the third installment of this summer’s “Jazz On The Roof” series at Jazz Dock, and the conditions were… well, almost perfect. The sun was out, the wind was low, and the mood was high. But there must have been a technical breakdown somewhere […]

Tomáš Zelený Trio @ U Staré Paní 8.5.2026 I’ve told you before that they were talented, but they’ve only gotten better since the last time they were in my viewfinder. The Tomáš Zelený Trio—featuring Mikuláš Pokorný (piano), Matej Štubniak (bass), and Tomáš Zelený (drums)—is a group that plays with a maturity far beyond their years. If you closed your eyes and just

Jamie Marshall Trio @ Jazz On The Roof | 2.5.2026 They say sometimes you’re just lucky to be in the right place at the right time. Today was exactly that. It was the official Saturday opening of Jazz On The Roof, and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect: 25°C, a cloudless blue sky, and

Libor’s Jam Session @ U Staré paní | 29.4.2026 When I stepped into the “Old Lady” last night, I’ll admit I was worried for a second—the place was already packed, and the first note hadn’t even been played. Luckily, my reservation held up and my table was waiting. There is a very good reason the

Where to go and who to listen to… Jazzy Spring 2026 turned into Jazzy Summer 2026 and the tempo is incomprehensible.

Kateřina Hošková & Filip Baader Graduation Concert @ Jazz Dock | 27.4.2026 If this were sports, I’d say last night had a “big-game” atmosphere. But since music isn’t a competition, I’ll simply state this: at Jazz Dock last night, we witnessed two musicians who are destined to be the torch-bearers for the next generation of

Ion Virlan Quintet @ Ateliér 57 | 26.4.2026 Moldova might not be the first country that comes to mind when you think of jazz.
