Jazz great John Scofield entertains thousands on Prague’s Old Town Square

The great American jazz guitarist John Scofield played a concert on Prague’s Old Town Square on Monday night. Scofield, playing his only show in Europe this year, told the 5,000 fans in attendance that he had heard about Prague decades ago from Czech musicians Miroslav Vitouš, George Mraz and Jan Hammer. The concert was part of the annual Bohemia Jazz Festival which features different Czech, Slovak and international musicians on different nights; after a second show in Prague on Tuesday night it travels to a number of other towns and cities.
