Your Hotspots for October

Where to go and who to listen to...

Here’s a few hints about  what to do music-wise in August if you’re lost in the musical surplus of what Prague has to offer! 😀 This is very, very subjective information but since I only like good or very good music you should maybe give it a try 😉. I concentrate mostly on the local bands/artists, that of course doesn’t always mean that they are Czech, but local and good, yes! 😊  I have only put in concerts/gigs where tickets are still available when writing this. Keep the address for this site in a good place, for the next month you’ll have new information as we get there.  If you want to have a small knowledge about the clubs in question you can get it HERE… 
We music lovers are being spoiled in October, so this is only a fragment of what Prague has to offer, but a good fragment!😊 
 

Petra Vlková Trio; In a little different and intimate place just outside the center of Prague (Zelená 1084/15, Praha 6) offers surprisingly high class music. This would be a very good start for your October music journey!  
Kavárna Dejvického divadla, Wednesday 1.10 @ 19:00

Odd Steinar Albrigtsen Quartet; A guitarist, composer, teacher etc. Go first to social media and listen to this gentleman and after that I’ll see you at Prague’s best jazz club, the one in Beroun. Because that’s where Odd and his Quartet will perform… 😀 
Ateliér 57, Sunday 5.10 @19.00 (Pictures from old concerts @A57)

Libor Šmoldas & Milan Angelo Novák guitar duo; Young meets old (sorry Libor 😀). This is a fest for lovers of guitar music, something that belongs to the O2 arena so good is this, so let’s enjoy it in a real jazz club environment. Two virtuosos that feed each other to some absolutely remarkable sounds.
U Staré paní, Monday  6.10 @20.00

Jamie Marshall’s Amplified Acoustic Band; We who have seen and been here before know that this just can’t go wrong. Start your weekend here and you got at least one thing right! 😀 
Jazz Dock, Friday 10.10 @19:00

Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory; Something very special and FREE, no admission. I don’t know anything about this but for sure something out of the ordinary! The ad for the happenings say’s; The Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory (part of the charitable organization called the Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory and Higher Vocational School in Prague) is an art school focusing mainly on popular, jazz, and musical music. !!!Pay attention to the starting time!!!
U Staré paní, Monday  13.10 @18.00

Prague Impro Room Vol. 4; American bassist Ben Tiberius and Czech rapper Kater. In a unique environment, in the home of Kristina and Marek you have now a chance to experience something different music wise and this in the middle of Prague. This is borrowed from their press release; “Prague Impro Room (PIR) is a curated platform that connects  top Czech improvised musicians with selected international artists . Each edition creates new musical collaborations, sharing know-how, and an open dialogue between creators and audience” For more info go to their website; https://kristinabarta.com/prague-impro-room.
Impro Room, Monday 20.10 @ 17.30 (doors open)

Julian Shore Trio; A praised pianist and his trio on a visit to Prague’s best jazz club, the one in Beroun, Ateliér 57. My only touch with these guys is true Bandcamp and if the sky doesn’t fall on my head I’ll be here! 😀
Ateliér 57, Sunday 26.10 @19.00 (Pictures from previous concerts @A57)

Bohemia After Dark;This is probably THE Bebop band in the republic. If you haven’t heard this group before it’s about time, if you have heard them before you know what you are in for. In both cases see you in Jazz Dock on the 17th, because they’re worth it! 
Jazz Dock, Monday 27.10 @ 20:00

Petra Vlkova & Sonic Playground; If this was a sports event this band would be named HOT! They are on the rise, especially since the release of their excellent debut album. A musical month with Petra and the Playground is always a good month! 😀 
U Staré paní, Monday  31.10 @20.00
