Jazz ring

Jazz Club was founded in 1998 by jazzman and director of the Jazzfest Karlovy Vary Mr. Milan Krajíc, and designer and jazz expert Mr. Jan Pelc. In the same year they organized several interesting concerts in Drahomira Cinema and in the following two years, even under poor conditions, very successful two-day jazz festivals with international participants. Since 2001 the Jazz Club organizes the international jazz festival under the name "Jazzfest Karlovy Vary". The festival is supported by the City of Karlovy Vary, The Karlovy Vary Region and the European Union. Nowadays, due to its artistic level, the festival belongs to the most significant cultural events in Karlovy Vary Region and it is one of the most visited jazz festivals in the Czech Republic.

During 2001 - 2003, the Jazz Club together with the Municipal Theatre organized regular concerts in Husovka Theatre under the name "Jazz Friday". This tradition is being developed again since the reopening of the theatre in 2005.
