About the venue: Jazz Dock

Jazz Dock is a design jazz club opened in 2009 on the banks of the Vltava river in Prague's Smíchov district, opposite Children's Island. It regularly hosts concerts of jazz, funk, soul, blues and world music, as well as its own festivals. The interior was designed by architects Ivan Sládek and Jaroslav Ourecký; a rooftop terrace is open in summer. The venue also includes a bar and restaurant.

About: Gavin Skeggs

His 2025 debut was recorded live with Czech musicians; at Bohemia JazzFest 2026 he presents the Frank Sinatra in Las Vegas show alongside the Otto Hejnic Band.
