Jaroslav Jezek (1906 – 1942) was one of the
most original personalities
of the Czech music avant-garde before the last
war.
A major part of his
output as a composer, were the compositions
and songs for the musical
comedies performed by the Liberated Theatre of
Prague. Many were written
and performed in jazz idiom
of the time. Ježek’s talent for a strong melodic
line and original harmonies
is self-evident in his work so much so that many
of
these songs became local jazz standards.
