Jindra Dolanský

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jindra Dolanský, born January 14, 1964, is a Czech musician. He was the saxophone player, backup vocalist and co-composer for the Czech avant garde/rock/punk rock group Už Jsme Doma from 1985-2001.

In the early '80s, Dolanský became a fixture in the music scene in Teplice, Czech Republic, a town bordering Germany. He was trained on the clarinet in his youth, making him the only trained member of the original Už Jsme Doma lineup, which he formed with six friends in 1985. By the end of 1988, he was the only original member remaining. From 1986-2001, he co-led the band with Miroslav Wanek, until he decided to leave the exhausting lifestyle to focus on his family and opening a restaurant in Prague. He has since performed with the band on special occasions, most notably their 20th anniversary set, which was released as a live CD and DVD, although only one track featuring Dolanský appears on the former.

Dolanský also performs on the album "Fancy," by the Oakland, California, avant garde/rock act Idiot Flesh. He plays a romantic saxophone line on the religious snack-food commercial spoof track "Cheezus."
