Najponk (CZ)
„A bit of jazz history won´t kill anyone“
As a pianist, Najponk is based directly on classical jazz roots - swinging rhythm and blues. His playing is a distinctive reinterpretation of jazz classics without avant-garde experiments, which excels in creativity, virtuosity and playing enthusiasm. With a poetic musical expression together with a cultivated keystroke and perfect jazz phrasing, he ranks among the so-called "storytellers" - storytellers, representing the highest interpretive goal in the music world. The development of the jazz tradition within its original laws is best described by his own compositions.
As a "jazz archivist" and a possessor of an extraordinary collection of jazz albums, Najponk is a unique source of information for the entire jazz scene about jazz history, jazz legends, recordings and other contexts, without which it is still impossible to survive in jazz life.
