The band Deaf Platypus started out at the Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory under the mentorship of Jakub Doležal. Over time, they have moved from jazz-fusion covers to their own compositions: the platypus melodies are often humorous and innocent, but they also like to experiment with odd rhythms and intricate, almost neoclassical arrangements. Jazz improvisation remains the focus of their work.

In the wind section you will hear Mikuláš Homolka on trumpet, Vanda Dršatová on flute and David Le Cam on saxophone / bass clarinet, the adventurous rhythm section consists of Václav 'Hugo' Pitule on drums, Ivča Kejzlarová on bass, Amélie Teršlová on keyboards and newcomer Jiří Popelka on guitar.
