Fly Agaric is a longstanding collaboration between four musicians who met during their studies. Jazz being their common ground, they each bring to the feast an array of seemingly unrelated and eclectic musical ingredients (African and Latin American dance music, Eastern European Folk, Classical and Contemporary music). Their material is original at times thoroughly composed and arranged, at times riotously free. The band commands a broad palette of sound settings, starting with the conventional jazz sax quartet and expanding into less well-charted territory through the use of accordion, brass clarinet, percussion and extended techniques. The members are: Fred Thomas - percussion Cesc Marco - piano / accordion Jiri Slavik - double bass Zac Gvi - saxophone / clarinet / toys
