Points Septet was created as a special project arising from several concerts of the internationally successful quartet Points. They were the winners of the Spanish jazz competition in Getxo in 2009. Although the septet has a bigger sound, it retains the characteristic features of the original band: the absence of a harmonic instrument and their focus on storytelling in compositions.
The core of the band consists of the most creative Czech jazz musicians. Each of its members is a distinct musical individual, who brings singularity and an enthusiasm for seeking his own musical language to their collective music. The septet’s music is inventive, unfettered by convention and the band does not lack impartiality and the enthusiasm to play jazz without a trace of academism.
Line-up: Oskar Torok – trumpet, Lubos Soukup – saxophone, Petr Kalfus – alt & soprano saxophone, Jan Jirucha – trombone, Marcel Barta – bass clarinet, Jaromir Honzak – double bass, Tomas Hobzek – drums
