Kdybyste Znali Zuzanu / Ráno / Z Celého Srdce / Sbohem Zármutku

Released by the state-owned Czechoslovak label Supraphon in 1961, this extended play record features the Pražský Dixieland, a prominent ensemble dedicated to the traditional jazz and swing revival that gained momentum in Prague during the late 1950s. The record serves as a representative artifact of the period's cultural appetite for Western-influenced jazz styles, which were often navigated within the specific constraints and aesthetic preferences of the Czechoslovak music scene.

The selection of tracks, including 'Kdybyste Znali Zuzanu,' reflects the ensemble's focus on energetic, brass-led arrangements that appealed to contemporary dance halls and radio listeners. The production values align with the standard high-fidelity engineering Supraphon employed during this era to preserve the output of domestic jazz orchestras, documenting the technical and stylistic transition of Czech popular music as it blended traditional Dixieland influences with local lyrical traditions.
