Cyrille Oswald is a Dutch saxophonist based in the Czech Republic.
Cyrille Oswald began his professional music career in the early 1990s while living in the Caribbean. After returning to his native Holland, he studied at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague under John Ruocco. Since then he has recorded and performed in Holland and abroad with ensembles such as Cubop City Big Band, Nueva Manteca, Rumbata and others. Since 2008 Cyrille Oswald has been living mainly in Prague. After lecturing at jazz workshops organised by the Czech Jazz Society, he soon formed his own quartet with David Dorůžka, Tomáš Liška and Daniel Šoltis and recorded his fourth (fully original) album The Wrong Present with the same line-up. Cyril Oswald's music draws from many other musical areas - world music, alternative music or modern classical music.
Daniel Bulatkin ()
Czech pianist, organist and composer Daniel Bulatkin, currently based in Holland, is one of the leading figures of young Czech jazz.
From the beginning of his career, Daniel was lucky enough to collaborate with his Czech role models, and soon to perform with foreign names on prestigious stages all over Europe. All this soon led to performances alongside international stars such as Ulf Wakenius, Justin Faulkner, Tineke Postma, Gergo Borlai, Gary Husband and others. Today Daniel can be heard in formations ranging from straight-ahead and modern jazz to prog-rock, neo-soul and world music. All this without losing his unique sound and signature. Publicists and colleagues describe him as "the hope of Czech jazz" (Czech Television) or "a rising star" (skjazz.sk). To date, he has released two albums as a "co-leader" - Drifter Days and The New Beginning. Both CDs were mentioned in the CRo Jazz critics' list as among the best of their year. He also produced the ambitious debut of American singer Allison Wheeler Winterspring.
