The Loop Jazz Orchestra will guide the audience through well-known big-band melodies
“A film without music is boring, people won’t recognise their favourite scenes,” Grammy and Emmy-winning Hollywood composer James Newton Howard declared a few years back...
The orchestra have prepared an extraordinary and very much in-demand performance of Jazz in Film. The Loop Jazz Orchestra, co-founded by Jan Hasenöhrl with Lukáš Chejn and others, together with the pianist, arranger, composer, flautist, artistic director Vít Pospíšil will perform some of the most famous big-band melodies.
The crowd favourites that were performed at The Loop Jazz Club Hostivař in May 2023 will be supplemented by big-band delicacies from Random Hearts, Casino, and The Valet. The experience will be augmented by the excellent acoustics and retro Eighties design of the orchestra's own Hostivař music club.
