  1. Hello,
    it’s really not easy to find information on Saze in English. However, Saze were a band from Czechoslowakia, formed in the mid-60’s by guitarist Ivan Kral among others. Ivan Kral was exiled in 1968 after the so called “Prague Spring”, when russian troops ended the short period of liberalization in Czechoslowakia. He settled down in New York and became later member of the Patti Smith Group. (see also: http://wc02.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:3jfuxqr5ldhe~T1). Besides, both posted songs “Žalm Štavnatky Panenské” and “Václava Mám Nejradši” were released 1970.

  2. I don’t know much about Saze as such, but I remember Jiri well and I can still sing along to his song Jdi Spát. He was a good friend of my parents and we went to see him (and his mum) often during the seventies and eighties on our numerous trips to Prague (which was so different then being behind the Iron Curtain). He was a lovely and funny man with a good voice and a great sense of humour. I miss him.
