Luboš Soukup Quartet

Luboš Soukup's quartet plays original contemporary jazz based on the band leader's distinctive compositions. The compositions are inspired by jazz greats such as Wayne Shorter, Charles Lloyd, Joe Henderson, etc., as well as other musical genres. The Czech saxophonist collaborates with top Czech musicians such as pianist Vít Křišťan, double bassist Jaromír Honzák and drummer Marek Urbánek.

The band has 3 albums to its credit. The debut album Beyond the Boarders was released in 2012. A year later the album Through the Mirror was added, on which together with the quartet a six-member brass section and a string quartet play. For now, the latest album is called Země and features a guest appearance by guitarist Lionel Loueke. The last two albums were selected in the Czech Radio Experts' Poll for the best jazz albums of the year (2013 and 2017).
