Jazz.
Soul Searching? Why not check out one of Prague’s Jazz or Blues clubs. Whilst locked behind the iron curtain, jazz music symbolised artistic and personal freedom during a time when other forms of music, including rock, were forbidden.
During this time jazz clubs were, to some extent, tolerated as it was considered to be an art form by the Soviets, unlike rock which was considered to be extremely subversive and treasonous. Perhaps this explains why this genre of music is so important here and why Prague is home to one of the biggest international jazz music festivals in the world, and why it houses a multitude of credible jazz and blues cafes and bars.
Many famous jazz musicians have performed in Prague including Mr. Acker Bilk and his Paramount Jazz Band, Stan Getz Quintet, B.B. King, Herbie Hancock and Dave Brubeck.
