EMIL VIKLICKÝ
/born 1948/
went to university in his hometown of Olomouc where he studied numerical mathematics at the Natural Science Faculty of the Palacký University. Almost immediately after his Prague debut in the Hulan Jazz Sanatorium in the early 1970´s, Viklický became a key player on the Czech jazz scene. Apart from playing with his own bands, he also worked with Karel Velebný´s SHQ, the Prague Big Band, the Czech Radio Jazz Orchestra and the Super Quartet with Jirí Stivín. Emil Viklický earned significant acclaim with his very first composition,
V Holomóci meste ("In the City of Olomouc"), in 1977, presenting a remarkable synthesis of modal jazz concepts, Moravian folklore and references to the legacy of Leoš Janácek. In the late 1970´s Viklický went to the renowned Berklee College in Boston to study, developing some very valuable musical friendships in the process. Upon his return, Viklický recorded a number of albums with his new friends - prominemt American jazz musicians: A Window and A Door with the quitarist Bill Frisell.
Together, a piano duo with James Wiliams (he played with James Williams again at the beginning of this year in New York), Midgets with Joe Newman, Magic Eye with Scott Robinson, and others. Viklický´s suite, Homage to Joan Miro, recorded with the Talich Quartet adn presented also at the Prague Spring with the British multi-instrumentalist John Surman and Kyncl´s quartet, was received with equal interest both at home and abroad. Viklický´s project Ad lib, with Zuzana Lapcíková and Jirí Pavlica with whom he has already performed in Japan and the USA, is of a long term character. The latest significant achievement of Emil Viklický´s was in chamber music, where he attracted great attention with an album called Homage to Josip Plecnik, on which his compositions are performed by fa number of individual artists and formations, most notably Magdalena Kožená, Jana Boušková, Jan Adamus and the Trio Martinu.
At present, Emil Viklický´s trio comprises the drummer Laco Tropp, a veteran of the Czechoslovak jazz scene, and contrabass player Frank Uhlír.

FLIP PHILLIP, ein Burgenländer aus Großpetersdorf ; unglaublich die Kritiken in der Jazzzeit zu seinem neuesten Album:
"Also, die Muse hat den Vibraphonisten Flip Philipp wirklich geküsst.
„Muse“ ist zurzeit sicher das modernste Album eines Künstlers der vibraphonierenden Zunft.
Diese österreichische Produktion kann sich durchaus mit jenen eines Stefan Harris oder Steve Nelson messen.
Durch die einzigartige Besetzung erzeugt man Jazz, der in seiner lyrischen Phase durchaus an die Eleganz eines Modern Jazz Quartetts erinnert.Gleichzeitig befinden sich auf „muse“ auch improvisierte Stücke,die jene rockige Zeit eines Gary Burton wieder aufleben lässt, ohne dass Philipp sein Instrument dabei elektronisch aufbessern müsste. Da wird munter drauf los geswingt,funky gejammt von Ellingtons A train „ bis zu rhythmisch melodisch faszinierenden eigenkompositionen.Was Flip Philipp aus Bronislau Kapers „invitation“ macht , gehört aufgrund des guten humors schon heute zu meinen lieblingstiteln des jahres 2003!! (bak)
oder
Wie er auch hinlangt, jeder Schlag ein Volltreffer. Sanft geknöppelt und rhythmisch glänzend vollführt Flip Philipp am Vibraphon eine wahre Ohrenweide, hervorragendst unterstützt von Trompeter Lorenz Raab, Kontrabassisten Georg Breinschmid, Schlagwerker Christian Salfellner plus Guests like Michi Erian am Saxophon, Stefan Thaler am Kontrabass und Ulli Pesendorfer am Schlagzeug. Die Komposition "The Muffler" (Auspufftopf) leitet die CD sehr ideenreich und variabel ein, mit "Codes", "Blasmusik" und "Empty Pockets" schöpft Philipp ebenfalls aus dem vollen Kreativpotenzial seiner selbst. Die Kunst wird auf "Muse" nie zur Show, des Musenkusses trübte der Band allerdings in keinster Weise die Spielfreude, im Gegenteil (wäre ja auch ein eigenartiger Musenkuss, nicht wahr?): Mit wie viel Spielwitz und Originalität Philipp und Musikerkollegen an Ellingtons "Take the A Train" herangehen ist äußerst hörenswert. Raabs Trompetenspiel ist Extraklasse, Breinschmid bringt wie immer bassistisches Vergnügen auf höchstem Niveau zu Gehör, Salfellner trommelt eine wahre Kunst an Geborgenheit heraus und Philipps Vibraphone-Spiel ist lebhaft, züngelnd, zündend, luxuriös. Einfach gut."
