Known as the leading blues guitarist to have come out of Czechoslovakia, Lubos Andrst was influenced by the likes of Eric Clapton and B. B. King. He began his career in 1966 as the guitarist in a rock band called the Roosters. However, in 1969 he gave up rock guitar to focus on jazz fusion and blues. In 1973, he co-formed the jazz fusion band, Energit. In the 1980s he formed the Lubos Andrst Blues Band that performed with English singer Paul Jones and American blues singer Katy Webster. He recorded several solo records, the first of which, Capricornus (1980), was split between work with his band and solo guitar work with the violinist Jan Hurby. He continued to front the Lubos Andrst Blues Band into the 1990s with the American Ramblin' Rex and also his jazz group, Acoustic Set. ~ Geoff Orens, All Music Guide
