Mattaz Duo
started in 2003 as a school project of students of the Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory in Prague. They quickly established themselves on the local jazz scene and began performing not only in Prague and throughout the Czech Republic, but also internationally.
Mattaz Duo engages mainly in rhythmic arrangements of jazz standards and well-known pop-rock pieces. Their musical conception often continues that of the famous French guitar duo Bireli Lagrene and Sylvain Luc.
