Biography
Prague jazz fusion band led since 1964 by keyboardist Martin Kratochvíl, its founder and constant presence. Founded with flautist Jiří Stivín, Jazz Q turned to electric jazz-rock in the 1970s with albums such as 'Pozorovatelna', 'Symbiosis' and 'Elegie' for #Supraphon#. Among Czechoslovakia's most important fusion groups, they paused in 1986 and returned in the 2000s under Kratochvíl's leadership. They remain active today.
