This autumn, JazzFestBrno will host such great musicians as Al Di Meola, one of the greatest jazz-rock guitarists of all time, and previously announced legendary American saxophonist Kamasi Washington. Composer and multi-instrumentalist Jiří Slavík and his nine-member ensemble Polka-boys will present radical adaptations of the polka song Polkatime. It reaches into ragtime and returns dance verve and humor to the popular Czech classic.
The Club Life series will also continue this autumn in the suitable settings of Cabaret des Péchés. This time it will feature José James, singer and "jazz musician for the hip hop generation", and a double concert of the leading formations of domestic jazz - the Robert Balzar Trio and the Matej Benko Quintet.
