Libor Šmoldas & Martin Hrubec @ U Staré paní 26.2.2025 The domestic meeting last night at the Old Lady between guitarists Libor Šmoldas & Martin Hrubec developed into an invigorating and interesting interpretation of mostly old jazz standards.

Where to go and who to listen to… Here’s a few hints about where to go and what to do in March, if you’re lost in the musical surplus of what Prague has to offer! The city of course offers so much more, but just as a small guide, and this is very, very subjective

Luboš Soukup Q @ U malého Glena 15.2.2025 feat. Petr Zelenka Last night At Little Glen’s, the place is packed, hardly even room for the waiter to do his job, seating had been reserved a long time ago, and the seats would stay occupied until the end of evening. The reason was to be found on the stage, something

Five Rivers Blues Band @ Jazz Dock 10.2.2025 It was back to the basics last night at Jazz dock, back to the old 1,4,5. Mind you, the Five Rivers Blues Band (Ivan Audes – dr; Luboš Muchna – vocals, harm; Miloš Novotný – b, voc; Jan Šobr – g.) was everything but blue. A show

Darren Heinrich Trio @ Ateliér 57 10.2.2025 The best jazz club in Prague, the one in Beroun, is back to business after a well deserved break and in what way! Offering a three continent band that should be able to fill any club in the country was more than a perfect start for the 2025 season. Darren Heinrich

Petra Vlková and Sonic Playground @ U Staré paní 31.1.2025 January’s music sessions had the perfect ending last night @ U Staré paní (@ The Old Lady) when Petra Vlková and Sonic Playground (Petra Vlková – voc; Libor Šmoldas – g; Mikuláš Pokorný – p;) took over the stage for a three set performance.
