Hetty Kate Quartet - taken from a trio to a quartet, with incredible American drummer and all round lovely human, Mr Jesse Simpson.
Join us for an autumnal treat as we share some beautiful standards from the jazz canon - a perfect midweek reset in one of my favourite cities in the world.
Hetty Kate - Voice
David Dorůžka - Guitar
Tomas Baros - Double Bass
Jesse Simpson - Drums
"A stage presence only matched by the clarity of her voice" – James Morrison AM (AU)
British-Australian vocalist Hetty Kate returns to Prague, where she is joined by guitarist David Dorůžka and bassist Tomáš Baroš two of the leading figures in Czech jazz - along with talented American drummer Jesse Simpson - who is surely an honorary Czech by now! Hetty first sang in the city at the Prague Proms in 2016 with James Morrison and the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, and came back in 2024 to record her latest album, Jazz in Four Seasons: Vol. 1, Spring, with Baroš in the band.
"Like Peggy Lee on a Vespa" – Marc Myers, JazzWax (USA)
With her clear voice and intonation, Hetty Kate brings a timeless quality to the beautiful songs of the jazz canon, from Gershwin to Dameron, spanning swing to bop. She improvises with a light hand, staying true to the song's story and melody without overshadowing the lyric. US critic Will Friedwald calls her "one of the best swing-style singers on the current scene." She has performed in twenty-eight countries and recorded eleven albums.
Join us and discover why Hetty Kate's concerts are known for a sense of shared joy that lingers long after the music ends.
