Jazz weekend in the clubs: TONDA VIDLÁK QUARTET (CZ)
A jazz band that has been playing in Czech since 2020. Currently, it prefers original compositions by its bandleader Antonín Vidlák. In addition to them, he also interprets contemporary compositions by jazz musicians such as Chick Corea, Chuck Magione, Clifford Brown, Zbigniew Namyslovski, Paul Desmond and the groups Spyro Gyra or Apple Tea.
The band builds on the richness of the harmony, on an almost acoustic sound, although it interprets some compositions with the sound of an electric piano. Bandleader Antonín Vidlák alternates alto saxophone and soprano saxophone. His compositions are based on knowledge of standards and tradition, but belong to modern jazz, jazz rock, or pop jazz. The author captures his experiences and life feelings in them.
