History Blue Effect

There are multiple artists playing under the "Blue Effect" name.

1: Blue Effect is Czech band that plays a variation of Jazz Rock and Progressive Rock. They are otherwise known as Modrý Efekt. The band was founded in 1968. Founding members were Jiří Kozel, Vlado Čech and Vladimír Mišík. Radim Hladík (czech No.1 guitar player) joined the band early after the founding. In following decades there were also other participants such as Lešek Semelka or Oldřich Veselý etc.

In 2004 Radim Hladík initiated the "rebirth" and Blue Effect started to play in this formation: Radim Hladík (guitarist), singer and piano player Jan Křížek, drummer Václav Zima (both have been also members of the band Walk Choc Ice) and the bass guitarist Vojtěch Říha (from the band Midway).

A few years ago R. Hladík became a member of The Hall of Fame (awarded by Czech Academy of Popular Music). He was the first one to recieve this award as the "non-singing" instrumentalist.
