The Czech band GrooveKeepers will perform at Alfa Jazz Fest

The performance will be held on June 27 at the Potocki Stage with the support of the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Ukraine and the Czech Center.

GrooveKeepers is a meeting place for musicians sharing a love to blues, jazz and soul music.

GrooveKeepers was founded by a multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Jan Korinek jointly with a pianist Najponk. Ian puts his heart, mind and soul into his music, filling it not only with blues, but with humor. His favorite musical instrument is Hammond's organ. Jan Korinek’s music follows the tradition of great organ combos, such as Jimmy McGriff or Jimmy Smith, finding a fine line between blues and jazz. Also, Jan directs his own recording studio ReelBluesStudio and is a producer of many records released under his label BlackTownRecords.
