Their musical style is characterized by collective improvisation, a front line typically featuring trumpet, clarinet and trombone, and a rhythm section providing a driving, syncopated beat. The band frequently performs standards from the early jazz repertoire alongside original compositions in the same vein.

Zámecká Zahrada (Castle Garden) in Poděbrady is a historically significant landscape garden surrounding Poděbrady Castle. Originally established in the Renaissance period, it underwent substantial reconstruction during the 19th century under the direction of Count Jan Rohan Chotek. This redesign transformed the garden into an English landscape park featuring extensive lawns, mature trees, ornamental flowerbeds and winding pathways. The garden is known for its connection to Emperor Franz Joseph I’s mother, Archduchess Sophie of Austria, who regularly visited Poděbrady for mud spa treatments due to her rheumatic ailments; she spent considerable time within the gardens. Today it serves as a public park and venue for cultural events.
