American forces liberated the city of Pilsen in today’s Czech Republic in 1945. Ending WWII, the troops brought not only freedom but also American swing music to the people. With immense gratitude, the Pilsner Jazz Band is ready to take the stage to mark the 75th anniversary of liberation and cultural inspiration. The orchestra will feature a classic repertoire by Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Glenn Miller as well as Czechoslovak swing pieces.
