B-Side Band

B-Side Band of bandleader Josef Buchta is one of the most distinctive musical ensembles on the Czech scene. Since its formation in 2006, the band has made a significant impact not only in the Czech Republic, but also abroad. Their renewed premiere of the final extended version of Jaromír Hnilička’s Missy Jazz, their inventive collaborations with various artists across the Czech music scene but also with international music stars and Grammy winners such as Kurt Elling, Judith Hill, New York Voices and The Puppini Sisters prove that B-Side Band is one of the top of its genre. Their ability to break genre boundaries and bring big band music to the main stages of major international festivals such as Colours of Ostrava, Metronome and Rock for People has earned them the acclaim of fans and critics around the world. In addition to sold-out national tours and major concerts, B-Side Band has performed on the prestigious stages of the Smetana Litomyšl Festival, IMF Český Krumlov and IFF Karlovy Vary.
