Projects

Jan Smigmator accompanied by his fantastic band (Mikuláš Pokorný – piano, Jan Kyncl – tenor saxophone, Tomáš Baroš – double bass, and Marek Urbánek – drums) performs well-known as well as lesser-known jazz standards in modern arrangements, along with original songs by composers such as Ondřej Pivec and the American singer Kennedy.

The contemporary sound, jazz quartet and dedication to the genre will take you to the atmosphere of a New York club that you won’t want to leave.

Repertoire: Love Letters, I Remember You, Watch What Happens, Moon River, Stardust, But Beautiful, Here And Now, Piano Story, For Once In My Life, My Way, New York State Of Mind and more.

Duration: 90 minutes (with possible intermission)

SWINGPHONIC – an elegant fusion of a jazz ensemble and string orchestra brings timeless songs of the Great American Songbook to life in a rich symphonic sound.

In new, sophisticated arrangements, audiences will hear iconic hits associated with Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett, alongside original compositions written by Smigmator over the years in collaboration with pianist and composer Svatopluk F. Smola.

The jazz quintet features outstanding musicians and long-time collaborators of Jan Smigmator: pianist Mikuláš Pokorný, double bassist Tomáš Baroš, drummer Marek Urbánek, tenor saxophonist Jan Kyncl, and trombonist Richard Šanda.
