The only band on the Czech music scene that is dedicated to an almost missionary promotion of fusion jazz. The name Captain Fingers is borrowed from guitarist Lee Ritenour - originally his nickname. The band is composed of versatile jazz musicians who want to recall the best compositions from the 1980s and 1990s, when jazz was influenced by other musical genres and much new has emerged. Especially thanks to the excellent performance of the band's guitarist Viktor Jerman you will hear songs of the best representatives of fusion jazz such as Fourplay, Steps Ahead, Pat Metheny, Yellowjackets, Jeff Lorber, Lyle Mays, and of course Lee Ritenour and others.
