The Jazz Section and its influence on the development of culture in the regions of Czechoslovakia before 1989: the case of the music scene in Olomouc

Original language description

One of the most important cultural institutions in Czechoslovakia during the 70s and 80s of the 20th century, in the era of the communist state's return to totalitarian practices known as normalization, was the Jazz Section. The cited institution was established in Prague in 1971 as an affiliate organisation to the Association of Musicians of the Czech Socialist Republic. Its initial goal was promotion of jazz, later its musical interest to a larger extent focused on the area of rock and alternative music. In subsequent years of its activities, the Jazz Section by far exceeded the musical framework and the organisation became a rich source of a broad spectrum of information as well as art and cultural forms in Czechoslovakia. The study reflects how the institution of Jazz Section influenced the cultural and musical life of Czechoslovak regions; in this respect, it provides a new perspective on the topic within domestic as well as international academic discourse.
