How Did the Original Vintage Orchestra Fare? Phenomenal Show, First-hand!
Great stars of the luxurious evening
Under the leadership of experienced musician, Petr Kroutil, who opened up the show together with Jiří Vejdělek, the Lávka club was dipped into the atmosphere of the interwar era. I suddenly felt as if I came on set of The Great Gatsby.
Petr Kroutil can successfully play a number of instruments, but he looked his best with a saxophone. Not only can he sing, direct, dance, but almost all these things at once. Beautiful singers from the Hot Sisters trio, who by their stunning singing, but also perfect outfits, spiced up the overall atmosphere and truly graced the entire evening. Suddenly, Chuck Wansley himself danced onto the stage and cheering and huge applause in the club had no end! Energetic black singer Chuck demonstrated that he simply has singing in his blood and its huge enthusiasm in a little while infected the whole of the audience!
Spectrum of the best. What I could hear and experience, first-hand
The first introductory song was in a rapid, dynamic pace of the Candy Man song. Gradually we could hear ingenious hits of well-known masters. Worth mentioning here are for example hits such as: Counting Stars by OneRepublic, Michael Jackson´s Black or White, or songs by Pharrell Williams, We Are The Champions by Queen, or Justin Timberlake. There were also Czech songs for Prague dwellers, Těm Je Tu Hej from Pražský výběr (Czech rock band - transl.note). A novelty here which we have been looking forward to is a cover song Známka punku (Trademark of Punk) from the band Visací zámek; their luxurious version bears marks of swing, and there was also a swing version of Roll out the Barrel.
Perhaps there was even a magician? You won't believe it, but this time round even the "President” attended!
Jiří Vejdělek accompanied the entire evening by his innovative quotations and aptly aimed words.
When presenter Jiří invited Mr President on the stage, Mr. Miloš Zeman appeared, imitated by great actor and imitator, Petr Jablonský, and everyone cried with laughter.
