Czech Music Encore: Jaroslav Jezek 1906-1942 - a great Czech composer who defies categorization

29-08-2004 | David Vaughan, Patricia Goodson

Jaroslav Jezek is one of the legends of Czech 20th century music. His jazz composition "Dark Blue World" lent its name to a film, released in 2001, about Czech pilots serving in Britain's Royal Air Force during the Second World War. The film powerfully evokes the atmosphere of the time, thanks not least to Jaroslav Jezek's music on the soundtrack.
