About Luboš Andršt
Luboš Andršt was a Czech jazz fusion, rock, and blues guitarist, composer, producer, and guitar teacher. Known primarily for his electric rock-influenced guitar playing, he frequently played acoustic guitar on jazz fusion recordings in the 1970s. Since the late 1990s, he was best known as a key figure in the Czech blues and blues rock scene with his Luboš Andršt Blues Band, and shared the stage with a number of American blues musicians, including B.B. King. He founded his first band, the Roosters, in 1966, and followed this by stints in various groups, including George & Beatovens and the early Framus Five rendition in 1970, with whom he recorded the album Město ER in 1972. In the early 1970s, he was a member of Martin Kratochvíl's Jazz Q and recorded the 1973 album Pozorovatelna with them. Also in 1973, he co-founded a new jazz fusion band, Energit, with two former members of Flamengo, Ivan Khunt and Jaroslav Erno Šedivý, and Vladimír Padrůněk from Jazz Q. Andršt returned to Jazz Q in 1977, and recorded the album Zvěsti with the band.
