JFB: New Jazz Underground and flui

Musically, New Jazz Underground capitalizes on what they learned in the basics of their craft. Their music is swinging and blues, but it is built on purely contemporary improvisation and, most importantly, energy. And they are definitely not stuffy introverts – just the titles of their songs like “when you a sad boy but you swingin’”, “modern jazz but good” or “giant steps is not music” suggest that in addition to great music, we will also have a lot of fun with them. The creation of flui was initiated by Jaromír Honzák as a space for a slightly different musical world than the one he enters with his quintet. “We want to reach for the music that is so much all around us easily and without thinking,” says Honzák. “With every sound, try to make the channel through which it flows to us passable.”
