JAN SMIGMATOR & BIG BAND, exclusive guest Scott Hamilton

The twenty-fourth Jazz Evening in honour of Karel Krautgartner takes place on Friday, 5 June 2026 at 19:30 in the conference centre of Mikulov Castle. Jan Smigmator arrives with his eighteen-member big band, and the exclusive guest is American tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton. This is the first of only two Czech performances by Smigmator this year — the second will take place in December at Sono Centru in Brno. The Baroque castle on the rocky Castle Hill is the landmark of Mikulov, and its conference centre offers an intimate setting for the jazz evening. Admission is free.
