Quality swing music of the 1930s and 1940s.
| The Havelka Sisters, for many years, performed as a trio in the Original Prague Syncopated Orchestra (OPSO). By the year 1994, the group, as a quartette, had already recorded their first solo album: When Your Girlfriend Lets You Down… Here, they interpreted old rambler songs from the period, accompanied by guitar, contrabass and violinophon. The songs became the inspiration and base for making a television clip movie, where the Havelka Sisters not only sang, but also acted (scripted and directed by Ondrej Havelka). |  |
In the year 1995, the Havelka Sisters, along with Ondrej Havelka, left the OPSO and became a part of the orchestra, Ondrej Havelkas Melody Makers. At the same time, they also continued making solo performances. They built up a small orchestra, led by bandleader Jaroslav Šimíček, and recorded their second album: Crazy Day - this time, from the lyrics of the Czech swing author, Jiri Traxler. The efforts that the Havelka Sisters & Havelka Sisters Ensemble Band go to in order to preserve the purest style of the era, is not only limited to the actual interpretation and instrumentalisation of Czech, American and German songs from the 1930s, but also covers their full stage presence, beginning with the opening remarks all the way up to their authentic dress and costumes of the era |
DJ Olaf will follow the swing track until the early hours.
