SPARK: JAZZ FROM CZECH

This year's Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival presents SPARK: Jazz from Czech, a curated programme featuring the country's top artists.

Since the very beginning Czech jazz has always found ways to thrive, innovate and express cultural identity, even in the most restrictive of conditions. The influence of expatriate musicians like George Mraz, Miroslav Vitous and Jan Hammer, have cemented its place in the wider jazz narrative.

Today, the legacy of Czech jazz continues to influence new generations of artists who are at the forefront of modern jazz in Europe. Featuring a curated programme of top Czech artists including, Kristina Bárta Trio, Nela Dusová, Endemit, Trio Henya, Treetop and Undo Redo, audiences in Edinburgh will have the unique opportunity to experience this legacy through a selection of performances that promise to reflect the vibrant and diverse jazz culture of Czechia.

Please note that events take place at various venues.
