HRABE / MISIK - NOCNI OBRAZ Vinyl LP

Vladimir Miik, whose recent album "Jednou te potkam"(I'll Meet You Once) won six Czech Music Academy Awards and received excellent reviews, releases a new studio album entitled "Nocni obraz" (Night Image) in September 2021. Like in the case of the previous project, this album originated in collaboration with producer Petr Ostrouchov and his band Blue Shadows. The music on the album is by Ostrouchov and Miik and the repertoire includes music composed to Miik's own lyrics and musicalisations of poems by Czech poets Jan Skacel, Vaclav Hrabe, Jiri Orten and Frantiek Hrubin. As the final track of the album, the authors included the song "Dekuji" (Thank you), based on a poem by the recently deceased David Stypka. The new album features a number of distinguished international guests, including Blind Boys of Alabama, Jerry Douglas, Irish-music stars Davy Spillane and Donal Lunny, percussionist from Paul Simon's band Jamey Haddad, or mandolinist Mike Marshall, and prominent local musicians, such as organist Ondrej Pivec, pianist Jan Steinsdorfer, saxophonist Frantiek Kop, and world-famous horn player Radek Baborak and his ensemble. Alongside Miik's own voice, the recording also features guest vocalists Lenka Dusilova, Robert Krestan, Lenka Nova, Marketa Foukalova, and a trio of New York gospel vocalists.
