J.A.R.
J.A.R. is a leading funk-rock band in Czech Republic. It was founded symbolically on 17th November 1989 (starting date of the famous Velvet Revolution, which marked a fall of the totalitarian communist regime).
Basic group created at the time consisted of the author of music Roman Holý and duo of "academic" rappers Oto Klempíř and Michael Viktořík.
J.A.R. in the true sense does not work as a band, but rather as occasional meeting of leading Czech jazz musicians and music producers. Members of J.A.R. are figuring in their own bands and play with their projects. The band does a few concerts every year and one always on 17th November, the traditional concert in the large Prague auditorium Lucerna, where it celebrates its birthday. Live concert from November 2008 was released on DVD in 2009.
