History

 

Slovak pianist Matej Benko in his trio and quintet focuses primarily on his own compositions and adaptations of various songs. His compositions are full of harmonic and melodic invention. To Jazz Goes to Town he comes with bassist Tomáš Liška and drummer Roman Vícha. The program will be compiled of songs being prepaired for an upcoming new album. In addition to their own songs they will perform several adaptations of pop songs from the 80s and 90s. In early October a new CD recorded by Matej Benko Trio featuring singer Ondřej Ruml will be released. These are arrangements of songs by Jaroslav Ježek and maybe we will hear some of them as well.
