The band Points came into being in the spring of 2007. Its members are either students or graduates of Jazz College VOŠ JAZZ, which is a special jazz department of Jaroslav Jezek Conservatory in Prague, Czech Republic. Although the quartet consists of fairly young artists, each one of its members has his unique musical character. This makes the Points’ performances very special, and also enthusiastic in the search for its own musical language. The band has already created a special style of communication: it speaks through its own original compositions written by Points’ members, or unique arrangements of jazz standards. These compositions capture attention not only through its density and dynamic, even turbulent changes of moods, but also through its typical sound - which is very much dependent on the types of instruments the band consists of. These are trumpet, saxophone, double bass and drums. An absence of harmonic instrument allows for more interactive communication between the musicians. The band experiments with the sound of the acoustic instruments and wants to achieve a “feel free” expression. Points is a band with strong emotional charge whose music is full of ideas, free of conventions and rules, and independent.
