Alf Carlsson/Jiří Kotača Quartet

Alf Carlsson/Jiří Kotača Quartet is a winner of Czech music awards - Ceny Anděl 2024! They meet in a jazz context, but have allowed themselves to dive into all the different music styles they like, such as pop, rock, scandinavian lyricism or hip hop. Their second album Our Stories (2024) is highly appreciated by critics and won Czech “Grammy” - Ceny Anděl. “The music is a splendid collection of modern jazz pieces, which combine deep Nordic melancholy and East European lyricism, performed with finesse and obvious talent by all four musicians”. The quartet has played dozens of concerts over Czech Republic, Slovakia, Italy, Austria, Germany, Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary and Sweden. All band members, despite their young age, already established themselves on national and European scenes. Alf Carlsson wrote music for the Nobel Prize and Jiří Kotača was several times nominated or won Czech "Grammy" - Anděl Prize with quartet and his big band - Cotatcha Orchestra. They work with top jazz musicians such as David Dorůžka, Sulivan Fortner, Ilja Reijngoud, and the European radio jazz orchestra.
