Josef Vysoky was born in Broumov, 11.11.1988. All his life he has been living in a small village of about 400 people, near Polish borders. Since he was a small boy, he has been listening to lots of jazz, rock, blues, funk, (...)
musicians, and it has influenced him for the rest of his life. At the age of seven, he started to play the violin, became the member of the Police n.Metují chamber orchestra. At the age of eleven, he changed the violin and started to play the viola. After
four years, he no more enjoyed it, so he gave it up. But at the age if sixteen, he fell in love with the guitar, and he has loved it since then up today. The beginnings were hard, but he practiced a lot, teached by himself, no teacher was available...
Started with playing blues and rock (Jimi Hendrix, SRV), and as the time went further, his abilities were better and better, and he started experimenting with jazz, worldmusic, fusion, and created his own style, which he still works on.. In these days he
mostly spends his times with practicing, writing music for choral, music for acoustic trio w/string quartet and arranging his favourite songs for BigBand ZUS Police nad Metuji. He's also a member of a new jazzfusion trio in Prague.
