EMIL VIKLICKY TRIO (Czech Republic)
featuring Frantisek Uhlir, (Double Bass) and Ladislav Tropp, (Drums)

Emil Viklicky is one of Europe’s finest jazz veterans, known for his unique musicality and virtuoso piano talent. He incorporates music from his native Moravia, where they are renown for their love of music and good wine. The Moravian love songs which he crafts in, so well to blend in with his classic & contemporary jazz arrangements, is inspiration and the hall mark of a musical genius, an aural delight for the first time listener much more the second time around.

"Viklicky deserves to be better known in this country. There seems to be no end of an appetite of from him. Clive Davis The Times His breadth, depth and musicality were on constant display at his two-night residency. Unexpectedly, the gig exhibited something of the catchy lyricism and collective energy. It was a heartening example of what a chameleon jazz still is."
John Fordham. The Guardian

"Combine all the positive elements of Bud Powell and Oscar Peterson with a deep infusion of Movravian soul, and you have Emil Viklicky, the patriarch of Czech jazz piano. His trio plays beautifully, combining the melodic richness of their folk-music with the crisp teamwork of best US jazz practice."
Jack Mazzarik Evening Standard
