The Track Inspection

The project of pianist, Hammond Organ player and composer Jan Andr combines jazz tradition with modern genres such as soul, funk and hip hop. Inspired by the New York club scene, The Track Inspection is a unique formation on the Czech jazz scene combining the Hammond organ trio and a three-member brass section. Jan Andr’s collaborations range from the soul-pop diva Tonya Graves, through electronic music producer Boris Carloff to the Milan Svoboda Prague Big Band. The other band members—Kirill Yakovlev, Tomáš Hobzek, Miroslav Hloucal, Petr Kalfus and Richard Šanda—are experienced jazz musicians. The festival performance will also be the band’s CD release concert of its debut album Introducing launched in October 2020 by Locator Records.

Charette/Štveráček/Šoltis Trio

This trio was formed in 2012 with Brian Charette, Dano Šoltis and Ondřej Štveráček. NYC organist and keyboardist, Charette, who is a Downbeat Critic’s Poll winner and 2015 Best Organist in NYC from Hot House magazine, worked for many years with Laco Deczi’s Celula. The trio began working often at the Jazz Dock in Prague and have played many concerts since. Štveráček is one of the top tenors of our time boasting superlative work in Gustav Brom’s Big Band, as well as his own acclaimed groups and collaboration with Gene Jackson. Šoltis is a first-call drummer having worked with I.M.T. Smile, Vertigo, and countless other bands. The trio plays funky instrumental tunes with clever harmony and slick beats. All members use gentle electronics in their set to add dreamy soundscapes behind their burning solos.

Hammond B3 at the Jazz Dock!

To make the experience of Brian Charett's organ art as authentic as possible, we rent the original, old Hammond B3 organ together with Leslie Box for this concert. This musical instrument from the 60's hides such energy that when it is mastered by one of the world's greatest current masters of Hammond Organ Brian Charette, it will be a huge soul-jazz experience! Don't miss the Hammond B3 at the Jazz Dock!
