Jaroslav Ježek (1906–1942) was a Czech composer, pianist and
conductor, author of jazz, classical, incidental and film music. His
musical output is commonly divided into two parts. The first part
of his work consists of chamber, piano and concertant compositions,
created first under the influence of Stravinsky, of the Parisian
Les Six and of Arnold Schönberg.
Later he found his own, specific and modern expression. He also
became a popular jazz composer in pre-war Czechoslovakia.
He composed songs and dances for the revue plays of the Prague
Free Theatre and also for the films of Voskovec and Werich.
His innovative melodies are well-known in the Czech Republic
to this day.
Organized in cooperation with Michael Beckerman from
the Department of Music, NewYork University.
