Post-Velvet Jazz Baby Jack Elkin Czech Republic: Arts and Social Change Spring 2005 Advisor: Jaroslav Pašmik, MgA Academic Directors: Eva Valenta, Ph.D. and Luke Bouvier, Ph.D. 2 Abstract: Throughout the past fifty years, two principle agents have inhibited experimentation in Prague's jazz scene, totalitarian states and the conditions that followed after the fervor of the Velvet Revolution died out. What has resulted is an environment that has embraced variation but not typically new or contemporary ideas, which is only just beginning to change. I. Introduction Jazz exists in nearly every major city as an established part of the culture and entertainment industry, and Prague is no exception to this. However at the same time, jazz does not appear to draw much popular interest and in many ways seems to be viewed as an art that is so abstract that it can only be understood by those that are “cultured;” in other words it has attained the status of the “new classical” music.
