The KUH Trio - Koehldorfer, Uhlir, Helesic Old Souls

The KUH Trio

This Trio consists of an outstanding Vienna guitarist EDI KÖHLDORFER, one of the best European bassist FRANTIŠEK UHLÍŘ and the drummer JAROMÍR HELEŠIC and it is a perennial star of the Prague music scene. After a successful performance at the Festival Jazz & Most in Fehring in Austria on September 2018, the members of this international Trio decided to work together. THE TRIO KUH programme consists of own compositions in which Köhldorfer und Uhlíř emphasize the ensemble potency (electric and acoustic guitar, virtuous bass-arrangements) and the arrangements from known jazz standards.

…“„The KUH Trio“ schafft es jeden Abend das Publikum mit seiner Spielfreude, Groove und den melodischen und manchmal auch herausfordernden Kompositionen zu begeistern!….“ …“Es ist eine wunderbare CD geworden. Zauberhaftes und Bezauberndes geben sich die Hand…“ Herbert Uhlir Ehemaliger Leiter Ö1 Jazzredaktion
