Jazz Open Ostrava celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, and the jubilee season opens with a birthday concert at the Fabric club. On Thursday, June 12, from 19:00, Swiss neo-soul/funk band The Next Movement will perform, having impressed Czech audiences with an energetic show back in 2023.

The Next Movement consists of three musicians: J.J. Flueck (drums, samples, vocals), Pascal "P" Kaeser (bass guitar, synthesizers, backing vocals), and Sam Siegenthaler (guitar, backing vocals). The band has performed at Leverkusener Jazztagen (Rockpalast WDR TV broadcast), Black Sea Jazz Festival in Georgia, Saulkrasti Jazz in Latvia, Jazztage Dresden, and Enclave de Agua Festival in Spain.

The complete programme for the jubilee season will be announced in the coming weeks.
