Reduta Jazz Club: Prague's Legendary Stage
Experience the vibrant history and timeless sounds of jazz at Prague's legendary Reduta Jazz Club, a cultural icon since 1958.
Reduta Jazz Club, a cornerstone of Prague's cultural scene since 1958, offers an authentic jazz experience steeped in history and brimming with musical talent. Located on Národní street in New Town, this intimate venue has been a haven for jazz enthusiasts for over half a century. Founded during a time when jazz was viewed with suspicion by the Communist regime, Reduta quickly became a symbol of artistic expression and freedom. It served as a gathering place for artists, intellectuals, and those yearning for cultural exchange. Over the years, Reduta has welcomed a constellation of jazz luminaries, including Wynton Marsalis, Dave Brubeck, and Chick Corea, alongside prominent Czech artists. The club's walls are adorned with photographs and memorabilia, echoing its storied past and the countless musicians who have graced its stage. Perhaps one of its most memorable moments occurred in 1994 when President Bill Clinton, during a visit to Prague, joined a jam session and played the saxophone, solidifying Reduta's place in jazz history. Today, Reduta continues to showcase a diverse range of jazz styles, from traditional Dixieland to modern and fusion jazz, swing, blues and big band compositions. With live concerts every night, Reduta Jazz Club remains a vibrant and essential destination for anyone seeking an unforgettable night of live music in Prague.
