BE4EIGHT is captivating jazz sound combined with groove music and ambient surfaces full of conscious metaphors, surprising arrangements, hidden meanings and enchanting passages. On stage, Canadian-Czech multi-instrumentalist Carl Růžička takes up the percussion instruments.
Electrifying musical surfaces with hints of jazz-rock, world music, pop-jazz, minimalism and even folk!
Composer and producer Jacob Carl Růžička comes from Canada, from where he moved to the Czech Republic with his parents at the age of 13. (The mysterious name of his project refers to the time of his birth - before eight in the morning in 1992). From his guitarist father, he inherited the passion for music, to which he devotes himself as a producer, composer and player of numerous musical instruments. While he recorded his first album, “7:40,” almost entirely on his own, he invited various guests from different countries and genres to his new album, “11×13.”
Guitarist Vratislav Zochr is also a composer – he writes music for film, theater, and computer games, is involved in several projects (including Gypsy Jazz), and plays a whole range of exotic and traditional musical instruments.
The wind instruments and keyboards are supervised by Tomáš Staněk, who studied classical clarinet but gradually expanded his range of instruments.
Bassist Ladislav Garaja is experienced with Latin, but also plays in many other genres.
Overall, the quartet’s sound is very compact, rich, and colorful, crossing genre boundaries with impressive self-confidence.
Jacob Carl Ružička (drums); Kirill Yakovlev (guitars); Tomáš Staněk (wind instruments, keyboards); Ladislav Garaja (bass guitar)
