Eight bands will perform at jazz fest in Metro Music Bar during March.

It looks like the highlight of the festival may be Cuban band Santy y su marabú (3/13) or B Side Band (3/29), a Brno-based band that will give the spectators a new CD for free.

David Dorůžka

Concert of the month according to BrnoNow.com:
David Dorůžka Trio @ Stará pekárna

Tuesday 24 February 2009 at 8:00pm
CZK 150
David Dorůžka is one of the most talented young Czech musicians. As his bio states:

David was born in 1980 in Prague, Czechoslovakia, he took up the guitar at the age of ten and from the age of fourteen started performing with leading musicians on the Czech jazz scene. In 1995 he received the “Talent of the Year” award from the Czech Jazz Society.

There are many jazz trios in the central europe, but only few have the qualities of David Dorůžka playing with Jaromír Honzák and Lukasz Zyta. CZK 150 (€5.40) is a wonderful price!
