About Me
Composer, bassist, Czech Republic, Europe...
Tomáš Liška is a bassist and composer originally from Rakovník. His genre range is wide, spanning from projects combining jazz and electronics, over more than eleven years of collaboration with Robert Křesťan and the band Druhá tráva, to his involvement in bands led by Beata Hlavenková, Lenka Dusilová, Luboš Malina, or Michal Nejtek. His purely original band, Invisible World, took its final form and lineup six years ago. This formation is gaining recognition worldwide. Besides the virtuoso performances of its individual members, the band is appreciated for its distinctive expression and sensitive fusion of original music, jazz, and world music. Tomáš Liška studied double bass at the Conservatory and Higher Specialized School of J. Ježek in Prague. He then pursued his master's studies at the prestigious Jazz Institut Berlin, under the guidance of renowned players and educators Greg Cohen and John Hollenbeck. He has received several awards from prominent jazz festivals and workshops, especially in Poland, Belgium, and Spain. Tomáš's debut solo album, “Invisible World” (2009), received the Tais Awards and a nomination for the Anděl Award. The subsequent albums, Milokraj, Bercheros Odyssey, Fragile Bliss, and Invisible Faces, also garnered recognition. He won the Anděl Award 2020 for the album “Hope.”
