The performers
David Dorůžka ()
David Dorůžka is a Czech jazz guitarist. He has been working professionally on the Czech jazz scene since 1994 and, in addition to concerts all over the world and numerous collaborations with international names, he has also had long stays in the metropolises of New York and Paris. In recent seasons Dorůžka has been busy with concert tours in Israel, France, Germany, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia. In addition to performing with Iva Bittova, Swedish band The Stoner and his own trio, he has also recently recorded with stars such as Chris Cheek, Daniele di Bonaventura, Aga Zaryan and Cyrille Oswald. Dorůžek's main concert activity, however, is his trio. Most of the repertoire consists of original compositions, but there are also pieces taken from the pop sphere, jazz evergreens (Sonny Rollins, Kurt Weill) or arranged songs from the classical repertoire (Edvard Grieg). The trio's playing is dynamic and sensitive, firmly rooted in the jazz tradition, yet unafraid of experimentation and transitions to other genres of the contemporary music world.
