About event
Double bass player and composer Jaromír Honzák, one of the key figures of the domestic jazz scene, winner of five Anděl awards for jazz album of the year, christens the new album "The Blues of a String Hanging in the Wind", which was released in July by the Animal Music publishing house.
"A small boy sitting and listening to a Hitachi transistor radio, against the background of the night sky, across which a rocket is flying."
This scene is an imaginative foreshadowing of the new album by double bass player and composer Jaromír Honzák. The CD is a live recording of his eight-part suite entitled "The Blues of a String Hanging in the Wind" performed by the Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra and Honzák's permanent "all stars" jazz quintet composed of David Dorůžka, Luboš Soukup, Vít Křišťan and Martin Novák. It was created in cooperation with Czech Radio as part of the Nové Horizonty concert series, which connects jazz and symphonic music, and thanks to the offer of its curator, pianist and composer Tomáš Sýkora. For this purpose, Honzák decided to expand his existing composition "The Blues of a String Hanging in the Wind" from 2008 and expanded it into an eight-part suite of the same name, the orchestration of which was participated by Tomáš Sýkora.
