Details:
Lukas Vesely is an extremely talented 28 year old musician that has just released his first jazz album, Peace Prayer. This album is a mixture of styles ranging from traditional jazz to more contemporary forms of jazz featuring Lukas' very soulful jazz singing.


Lukas is not only a multi-instrumentalist but is also a talented songwriter that draws his inspiration from various musical idioms including western classical music and Japanese folk music to name a few.


He was born in the Czech Republic and came to America at the age of three. Lukas grew up listening to a lot of early jazz recordings that his father played for him, such as those of Louis Armstrong and Count Basie. After high-school, Lukas received a full scholarship to Berklee College of Music. He is currently working in San Fransisco, California as a jazz bassist/vocalist.


He has studied and played with such musicians as Oscar Stagnaro, Alex Acuna, and Richard Stoltzman. His current album features Scott 'E Dog' Peterson(J.C.Heard, Aretha Franklin)and Jaz Sawyer(Irvin Mayfield, Abbey Lincoln).



Lukas dedicates this album, and every other project that he is a part of and will be a part of, to breaking down the walls of our differences, and finding a common path to a more positive future.
