About the event

Bohemia After Dark @ Jazz Dock
***English version below***
Založený v únoru 2019, tento pražský mezinárodní “boptet“ se zaměřuje na autenticky swingující aranžmá jak klasických nahrávek, tak i „zanedbávaných“ klenotů ze zlatého věku bebopu 40. let až po vznik hard bopu v polovině 50. let. Projekt je inspirován životními dráhami dvou průkopníků bebopu, bubeníka Kennyho Clarka (1914-1985) a basisty Oscara Pettiforda (1922-1960), a byl nazván podle Pettifordovy kompozice Bohemia After Dark a Clarkova stejnojmenného alba (Savoy, 1955), který vyšel těsně po otevření Newyorského klubu Café Bohemia a zároveň spustil hvězdnou kariéru legendy hard bopu Cannonballa Adderleyho. Mezi další bopové giganty spojené s repertoárem projektu patří Dizzy Gillespie, Fats Navarro, Tadd Dameron, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, J.J. Johnson, James Moody, Gigi Gryce a John Lewis a dále zpěvačky Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Carmen McRae nebo Annie Ross.

Founded in February 2019, this Prague-based international “boptet” performs hard-swinging arrangements of classics and neglected gems from the “golden age” of bebop in the 1940s through to the early hard bop of the mid-1950s, inspired by the work of two of bebop’s lesser-known pioneers, drummer Kenny Clarke (1914-1985) and bassist Oscar Pettiford (1922-1960). The project is named after Pettiford’s composition “Bohemia After Dark” and Clarke’s iconic album of the same name (Savoy, 1955), which followed the opening of the “Café Bohemia” jazz club in New York and launched the career of hard bop legend Cannonball Adderley. Other bop giants featured in the band’s repertoire include Dizzy Gillespie, Fats Navarro, Tadd Dameron, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, J.J. Johnson, James Moody, Gigi Gryce and John Lewis, as well as the singers Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Carmen McRae and Annie Ross.
