The Four

The Four is an award winning jazz quartet featuring saxophonist Karel Ruzicka Jr., pianist Stanislav Mácha, bassist Petr Dvorský and drummer Jiří Slavíček. The Four have won first prizes at the Přerov International Jazz Festival and Karlovy Vary International Jazz Festival in the early 90's and they were chosen to represent the Czech Republic at the prestigious festival Jazz à Vienne in France. In 1994 they released their debut album "Space and Rhythm" on Arta Records. After performing regularly, both locally and internationally, they took a long hiatus as all the members branched out to establish themselves as some of the most indemand musicians on the Czech jazz scene; and in the case of Karel Ruzicka Jr, eventually following his muse all the way to America, where he continues his successful collaboration with some of the top jazz musicians in the world. The friendship among The Four has endured time and distance, and in 2016 they reunited to perform at the Brno Jazz Festival.

 Admission: seating CZK 200, standing CZK 150.
