Jeff Aug / Murat Parlak Quintet (USA/DE/RO/AT)

You may have seen Jeff Aug on the Jazz Dock stage as the opening act for Scott Henderson, Chad Wackerman, or Oz Noy—he’s almost a regular here. He has also performed in support of Allan Holdsworth, Greg Howe, Stu Hamm, Soft Machine, and many other legends. Now we’re proud to welcome Jeff Aug and his new quintet to Jazz Dock for their first headlining show here. It promises to be a fantastic Prague debut for the Jeff Aug / Murat Parlak Quintet, featuring music from their debut album, For the Love of Nine. It’s not often that we get to host an artist’s Czech debut, so don’t miss this moment in music history.

The Jeff Aug / Murat Parlak Quintet performs acoustic instrumental compositions with a unique line-up including fingerstyle steel-string guitar, piano, violin, cello, drums and percussion.  Inspired by the acoustic instrumentalists from the Windham Hill Records releases 70s and 80s and rock fusion artists of the same period, the Jeff Aug / Murat Parlak Quintet creates a style of music which is unlike any other artist on the planet, but, at the same, is accessible and exciting to jazz, world music, and rock audiences alike. The debut album For the Love of Nine by the Jeff Aug / Murat Parlak Quintet, recorded at the legendary Stockfisch Studio in Northeim, will be released on February 5, 2027, on the audiophile label Stockfisch Records.

“It took 15 years to make this happen, but if it were easy, I guess everyone would do it,” says Jeff about the upcoming album. The idea originated in May 2012, after Jeff returned from a tour with Allan Holdsworth and met with Murat at his studio to record his eighth acoustic instrumental album.

“I had plenty of new material for the solo album, but then there was additional material that Murat and I both agreed would be better recorded as an ensemble,” Jeff explains. This material formed the core of this debut album.

“Murat and I had always wanted to record an album together, but the biggest challenge was finding a common ground that was both musical and authentic. It had to be music we had a deep connection to -- music we could both relate to on multiple levels.”

Jeff Aug – guitar; Murat Parlak – piano; Justin Ciuche – violin; Jann Michael Engel – cello; Sven von Samson – drums & percussion.
