Anna W Quintet

Anna W Quintet will perform at the U Staré paní Jazz & Cocktail Club. In June 2012, pianist Anna Würtherlová graduated from the Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory and Higher Vocational School in Prague. Immediately after her graduation concert she realized that in order to achieve a sense of life satisfaction she needed to start her own band. She started to look for skilled classmates from the conservatory who would go with her. Anna W (piano), Betty Kindlmanová (vocals), Jirka Žák (saxophone, flute), Pavel Koronthály (bass guitar) and David Čížek, later Tonda Jína (drums) became the Anna W Quintet in September 2012. The band has two positions – jazz and popular. The former is characterized by the fact that the band regularly rehearses at the Ježek Conservatory and occasionally plays in Prague jazz clubs (JazzTime, JazzDock, Reduta). Their repertoire is focused on the compositions of Michel Camilo, Michel Petrucciani, Chick Corea, but also their own works. The other side of the band is commercial. The band has been playing weddings, balls, birthday parties, corporate parties and other events since 2012. Most often they tour all over the Czech Republic with piano, vocals, guitar (Jirka Würtherle), bass guitar and drums; but trio, quartet or sextet are also in demand.
