Zdraví vás velice jazzová babice – Koubková Jana (2024)

Singer Jana Koubková has been one of the leading figures in our jazz scene for several decades. In her new book, Zdraví vás velice jazzová babice, she offers a collage of poetic text improvisations, poems, word sketches, language play, favorite quotes and aphorisms, as well as outbursts. She has supplemented it with numerous memories of her colleagues from the music industry and previously unpublished photographs and documents. The book, unmistakably illustrated and graphically designed by Luděk Bárta, is published to mark a significant life anniversary of Jana Koubková. As always, the author entertains the readers, prompts them to reflect, and with sincere openness, presents what is on the singer's mind. All her paths lead crisscross to jazz, singing, and the playfulness of the Czech language. ***** CONTENT: I'm not a woman, I'm a musician! * This can't be possible! * Tony Brych, May 31, 1986 PKOJF * Paternoster in Czechoslovak Radio on Vinohradská * Inquiry * April 2 – April 11, 1990 * Dedication – gift chair… * Year 2001 * The New Year is just around the corner… * Why do you look worn out? * Scorpio * April 1984 * Four times WITHOUT… * Happiness… * The wind blows gently… * Dear vacationers and other dressed-up folks… * The spirit on the mattress was stirred and wanted air… * Clicker… * Across the street, a man is sitting… * Ballad of closed eyes… * I am in the clear…
