Reduta Jazz Club

Welcome to Reduta, the legendary jazzclub featuring top Prague jazz concerts!

In ancient Greece the "redutas" were the centres of fun and music. So it is with Reduta Jazz Club Prague! Enjoy the great atmosphere of first-rate Prague jazz concerts held here.

A specialty of the club is the introduction of big-bands, where you get wrapped up into the happenings on the stage and become a part of the orchestra.

Choose from the great selection of jazz concerts in Reduta, the oldest jazzclub in Middle Europe.

The Reduta Jazz Club first opened its door in 1957 as a small experimental stage. Local "text appeals" - improvisations of renowned actors soon became very popular. In 1958, a group of jazz enthusiasts opened a jazz club here thanks to slight loosening of political control of the communist regime. Reduta soon became a place where fun, and especially great jazz music, was a commonplace. In the 1970’s and 1980’s Reduta became a small oasis, a point of resistance against the rigid “normalization” regime. Dissidents and avant-garde artists gathered here, and frequent debates lasted long into the night.
Frequent jam sessions in Reduta were unforgettable, featuring Tony Scott, Acker Bilk, Chris Barber or the admirable Wynton Marsalis. After the Velvet Revolution in 1989, the club caught a second wind. The present dramaturgy deploys all genres of jazz production relying mostly on modern jazz, funky, fusion, mainstream and blues, although the traditional Dixieland is also given its due. The club specializes in introducing big-bands.
