Date: 9.9.2025 od 20:00 hodin

On Tuesday, September 9, at 8 p.m., we cordially invite you to a jazz concert at our Beseder Gallery.

DAYNA STEPHENS (USA) – saxophone
DANIEL BULATKIN (CZ) – piano
MIKAILO KASHA (USA) – acoustic bass
FRANCESCO CINIGLIO (IT) – drums


“Dayna Stephens can make the tenor saxophone cry and tear itself apart, but at heart he is a player who cares about clean and smooth melodies. His beautiful, straightforward tone is neither too heavy nor too light — but it can swing in either direction. His sound is elegant, with a subtle vibrato, and the lines he improvises are clear, thoughtful, and melodic." — Kevin Whitehead, NPR (about the album Liberty)


"Stephens' latest album — recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's legendary studio — elegantly and uncompromisingly shows that less can indeed be more." — J. Hunter, Nippertown

Dayna Stephens is one of the most interesting saxophonists on the contemporary jazz scene. He has collaborated with the world's elite, including Brad Mehldau, Kenny Barron, Al Foster, Julian Lage, Danilo Pérez, John Patitucci, Terri Lyne Carrington, Billy Hart, and many others. His concert albums Right Now! Live at the Village Vanguard and Liberty were created with elite musicians such as Aaron Parks, Ben Street, Greg Hutchinson, and Eric Harland, under the production supervision of Grammy winner Matt Pierson. Both recordings were released on his own label, Contagious Music.

Prague has its first (and so far only) opportunity to experience this exceptional saxophone voice live! You can also see and hear the well-known Daniel Bulatkin together with artists Mikail Kash and Francesco Ciniglio at the Beseder Gallery.

Concert admission: CZK 400 per person
