Oswald Schneider

The beginnings of the group's history Oswald Schneider dates back to 1983, when it was founded by Luděk Majer and Jan Kopecký. About thirty musicians played in the band during its existence. Apart from the very beginnings, when everyone played what they knew how to play, the band's line-up settled down in the early 1990s to drums, bass, keyboards, guitar and two vocals (Ivana Stanislavova and Luděk Majer), with the addition of a brass section (two saxophones and a trumpet). Since the release of the second album (1998) Oswald has played without wind instruments. After the departure of drummer Milan Cais (Tata Bojs) and bassist Filip Nebrensky (Hm...) and several trials and errors, the band found a new bassist and drummer (Ondřej Schicker and Miloš Sojka) in 2004 and has been playing with an unchanged line-up ever since. In recent years, the band has occasionally been joined by Joe Kučera (saxophones) and new member Jiří Alexa on trumpet. Oswald Schneider has released four official albums and one SP. In 1995 eponymous album (Melantrich), 1998 That's where (Indies), 2002 Dudytojz Werk (Indies), 2017 Wald Schneid (Field 5) and 2021 OswaldSchneiderSingl (Indies).

It's not music for people looking for the latest trends, it's not for those who don't have time, but it's not for those who want to meditate to music either. It's not complicated, but it's not simple either. The musicians don't draw attention to themselves with instrumental performances, they are not afraid of simplicity or searching and experimentation. Each song is different, but they work together. It's song-oriented, there's jazz, danceable bossa nova and guitar, from tender songs to somewhere like Rage Against the Machine, from trip hop to art rock to modern jazz.
