Petr Venkrbec:
Electro jazz full of nice surprises.
|
Born in 1964 in Czechoslovakia, now the Czech Republic, where he still lives. He
has been a live and session musician (saxophone and clarinet) for most of his
life with jazz, rock and blues bands, e.g. Psi Vojaci, Vltava, Milan Svoboda Big
Band, Mind the Step, Moimir Papalescu and the Nihilists, Magnetik.
While supplying horn lines, solo parts, arrangements and arrangement hints to
many bands and projects, the live playing and recording brought him into the
studio or onto the stage with a rather incoherent collection of greats like Mike
Stern, Alexander Hacke and Bryan Corbett. He is familiar with the underground
venues of the communist era, as well as with the big jazz stages like Jazz in
Duketown in 's-Hertogenbosch, Prague, Odessa, Sibiu international jazz
festivals, and Jazz at the Birmingham Symphony Hall, likewise with the major
dance and electronica festivals in his area.
However, now he prefers to be more occupied with music teaching and to be home
with his family and his modest collection of synthesizers and woodwind
instruments to enjoy the possibility of a free choice of forms and sounds when
composing his own music from scratch. His compositions and improvisations may
sometimes sound quite rough but they can always be taken as soothing musical
potions for a human soul irritated by modern life's dilemmas.
Another dimension is added by Petr's exploration of the capability of music to
express abstract views on questions of modern science. His friends once
described his music as not exactly the simplest but a quite comprehensive
survival guide in modern times.
