Jaroslav Jezek was an important composer, performer and conductor during the inter-war period in Czechoslovakia. As leader of the Jezek Big Band and composer for the Liberated Theater, his popularity was immense. Forced to flee Prague ahead of the Nazis in 1938, he settled in New York where he composed his final works, including a compelling Sonata for Piano. He died of kidney failure on January 1, 1942.
