Marek Hlavica + The Seladons

Marek Hlavica has a busy spring ahead. In February, the first album of his current line-up Seladons, entitled Anniversary, will be released; in March, Supraphon will reissue the memorable album by the blues band Tucet from 1992 on CD and vinyl (Marek Hlavica is the last surviving member of the trio Tucet); and in April, his book of columns and observations, Dobrý den a další nečosné sprostýárny (Good morning and other disgusting vulgarities), will be published. He will come to Šemanovice with a brilliant band of jazz Seladons and songs whose lyrics will make you laugh – often even before their true meaning is fully revealed.
