Bohemia Jazz Fest I PETER LIPA BAND (SK)

Peter Lipa is one of the most important figures in the Slovak jazz scene who perhaps does not even need to be introduced to the Czech audience. He has created a distinctive form of vocal expression with an emphasis on the text. His music is based on a combination of jazz and blues, influenced by singers such as Jimmy Rushing, Ray Charles, Joe Cocker or Bobby McFerrin. He is the first singer in Slovakia to use Slovak in jazz music.
