Supraphon Release Information



The reissue of Luboš Andršt’s first solo album from 1980 presents the author’s purely studio jazz project, full of melancholic and contemplative moods. At the time of the recording, Andršt had already had fifteen years of experience playing in the rock band Framus Five, in the jazz rock groups Jazz Q and Energit, as well as in acoustic duos with Emil Viklický and with Zdeněk Hrášek.

Although in 1980 he was already performing with his own band, the Luboš Andršt Blues Band, for the recording of the LP Capricornus he assembled a one-off studio band, to which he invited four musicians: rock musicians Jan Hrubý and Jiří Veselý, jazz pianist Gabriel Jonáš and versatile drummer Alan Vitouš. The jazz rock synthesis from the Smetana theatre, which has been transferred to this recording, can thus be heard for the first time on CD and in its entirety more than thirty-five years after it was recorded.
