NEXT PHASE

 


The band was formed in 2010 as an avant-garde jazz quartet (cl / sax, tp, b, dr), composed of current or former students at the Janáček Academy of Performing Arts, under the direction of clarinetist and saxophonist Pavel Zlamal. Gradually, the group settled as a trio with regular guests. The band from the beginning dedicated its efforts to creating original music, inspired not only by jazz, but also by contemporary and experimental music, greatly focused on improvisation.
Distinctive compositions and arrangements are the product of an open musical mind of the band members, also reflecting their multi-genre experience. Typically unorthodox improvisational space is fully used to achieve exceptional sound quality. Next Phase boldly leaves the framework of safe, proven patterns and musical forms. Unique productions completely based on improvisation or conducting in real time are not exceptional.
