Description was written before the event

Dan Bárta and Robert Balzar rarely take the stage as a duo. No band, no trio - just voice and double bass, where every note and every finger movement on the fingerboard carries full weight.

The programme features original compositions and interpretations of jazz, pop, and rock standards.
