Frantisek Uhlir Team-Wer kennt nicht die grossen tschechischen Bassisten Jiri "George" Mraz und Miroslav Vitous,
die in USA zu Anerkennung und internationalem Renomme gekommen sind?
In dieselbe Generation gehört der 1950 geborene Frantisek Uhlir, der z. Z. sicher der profilierste
Jazzmusiker der tschechischen Jazzlandschaft ist. Mit der fortschreitenden Öffnung des europäschen Ostens werden uns wohl noch viele unbekannte "Sterne" erscheinen, die bislang
nie Gelenheit hatten, ihre Fähigkeit

The opening up of Eastern Europe resulted in the appearance of until then less know groups
on the jazz scene, whose capabilities could thus become better know and appreciated. One of
these is a quartet of musicians performing under collective name "František Uhlir Team"
(F. U. T. ). The band was founded in 1987 by František Uhlíř, a string bass player who is one of
the generation of musicians knwn as the "Czech string bass playing school" (M. Vitous, G. Mraz).
Chamber music of F. U. T. is well-balanced and springs out of the interaction of players, who offer surprising possibilities insofar as changes of colours and expression are concernd.
Figuratively speaking, the music produced by F. U. T. is living organism in which František Uhlir;
is the soul, Andy Schofield voice, Adam Tvrdy is the supporting structure and Jaromír Helesic
the heart. F. U. T. playes standart jazz compositions with great deal of understanding and feeling,
often spiced with the musicians own modifications, as well own compositions influenced by jazz
standarts.
