Martin Kratochvil
Martin Kratochvil is a Czech musical polymath whose career has zigzagged between jazz fusion, film scores, children’s storytelling, and even Himalayan-inspired soundscapes. Best known as the founder of pioneering Czech jazz-rock band Jazz Q in the late 1960s, Kratochvil has spent decades blending synthesizers, prog-rock energy, and improvisational flair—a vibe that still pulses through recent releases like *Siločáry* and the compilation *Jazz Q - Komplet*. His playful side shines in family-friendly projects like *Funny Stories & Fairy Tales for Children*, while his film work (see *Temné slunce*) proves he can craft moody, cinematic tension. Even his 2023 album *České himálajské dobrodružství* reflects his lifelong curiosity, channeling mountaineering adventures into atmospheric instrumentals. Whether he’s reviving jazz fusion or scoring stories, Kratochvil remains a restless creative force in Central Europe’s music scene.
