Czech Jazz Nights at Blues Alley: Ondrej Pivec Overseason Quartet

Young jazz Hammond organist Ondrej Pivec heads to DC to play songs from his album OVERSEASON. The album was recorded in New York where Pivec and his colleague Tomáš Hubzek met by a twist of fate Brooklyn-based, Canadian guitarist Jake Langley and tenor saxophonist Joel Frahm. The sound of the album is bursting with spontaneity as well as drive. Pivec's compositions, which make up the bulk of the disc's material, are full of melodic hooks and funky grooves. Check out this international jazz quartet as they unite in the Nation's capital. www.ondrejpivec.com
