Jaroslav Ježek (1906-1942) was a famous Czech composer, pianist, improviser and conductor, author of dance, theater, film and classical music. He is considered to be one of the first jazz musicians in Czechoslovakia. The song Bugatti Step was inspired by the Bugatti car in which famous Monaco racer Louis Chiron won first prize in Brno at the Grand Prix of Czechoslovakia in 1931. Bugatti Step was composed the same year as a prelude to Don Juan & Comp play. This piece amazes not only performers, but also audience with it’s dancing character, brevity and yet wonderful virtuosity.
