Michal Pavlíček is a renowned Czech guitarist, composer, and producer, who has been an influential figure in the Czech music scene for several decades. Born on February 14, 1956, in Prague, Pavlíček initially made a name for himself in the 1970s and '80s with his rock band Pražský výběr. The band gained a cult following, due in no small part to Pavlíček's virtuosic guitar work and their unique blend of progressive rock, jazz, and funk.

Throughout his career, Pavlíček has been recognized for his ability to transcend genre boundaries, effortlessly moving between rock, jazz, and classical music. His solo work has garnered critical acclaim and showcases his skill as a versatile musician, able to compose compelling pieces for guitar. In his more recent releases, including "Kdo se bojí, musí do lesa" and "Big Heads," Pavlíček continues to innovate, blending traditional musical elements with contemporary sounds. His collaborations, such as "Ztracenej čas" with Milly Honsová and "Odcházení" with Monika Načeva and Vlastimil Třešnák, reflect his capacity to work synergistically with other artists to create rich, nuanced music. The "Stromboli (Jubilejní edice 1987/2012)" release is a testament to his long-standing influence in music, offering a renewed look at one of his seminal works. Pavlíček's ongoing contribution to the Czech music landscape confirms his status as a towering figure in his nation's cultural heritage.
