Career Overview

About Ondřej Kabrna

Czech Radio Jazz presents Kabrna as a pianist, composer, and arranger whose work crosses jazz, fusion, funk, Latin music, pop, and classical practice. The interview centers his own trio while also documenting vocal arranging and membership in the AghaRTA Band.[1]

ARTA's release pages show Kabrna in several distinct roles: keyboards in Luboš Andršt's electric group, piano in the AghaRTA Band, and piano, Hammond organ, accordion, and oud in Petr Kroutil's orchestra. Jazz Dock's dated artist program corroborates his piano, organ, accordion, composition, and multi-instrument work in Prague.[3][5][4][2]
