Interjazz 6 (1989) feat. a host of famous artists (Dasek, Stivin, Viklicky et al.)
This one-- information here, again has some very familiar names.
Dasek you might remember from that long ago post in which his duets with Toto came up. An incredibly talented and remarkably fast guitar player who reminds me a lot of American Ralph Towner with the really original chord patterns which are so difficult to play due to the structure of the guitar, built up as it is in 4ths and 5ths.
Surprisingly, Viklicky, seen here before, and also in relation to the Mini Jazz Klub series I think, is disappointing in his contribution.
A1 Salut (Alexej Fried)
8:12
A2 Good Morning (Václav Zahradník)
5:15
A3 Africana (Georgi Garanian)
4:29
B1 Par Pondus (Emil Viklický)
6:40
B2 Touch & Go (Peter Hurt)
7:33
B3 Des'sch Too Much (Albert Mangelsdorff)
The second track, by Zahradnik:

Milan Svoboda returns for the Interjazz series, no. 5 (1986)
After that detour or two, wonderful as it was, we go back to the scheduled series from before.
Obviously, I got this on the strength and reputation of Milan Svoboda. I raved about his April Orchestra 32, which should still be up, and then he appeared with the Prague and Czech jazz orchestras. I'm pretty sure I posted those before too. Note that he studied at the famous Berklee in Boston, mentioned frequently in these posts.
Information can be found here. Note the involvement of Karel Ruzicka (track B2) who was featured here before, and Namyslowski (track A3), who was here before too.
Tracklist:
A1 Pocta Panu G. E. / Tribute To G. E. (Milan Svoboda)
A2 Z Tlusté Roury / Out Of The Thick Pipe (Wróblewski)
A3 Krakovský Jazzový Festival / The Cracow Jazz Festival (J. Śmietana)
B1 Koňský Mol / Horse Moth (Wróblewski)
B2 Habanera ( Karel Růžička)
B3 Velese, Jen Vesele Con Funebrio / With Joy Unbounded, Con Funebrio (Svoboda)
Maybe the best composition is the one by Wroblewski, who made a few good fusion or jazz records in the 70s worth seeking out, the one called Out of the Thick Pipe:

Starting the Czech Interjazz Series with 1 (1970), 3 (1976), 4 (1979)
Another interesting VA in a series expansively covering from 1970 onwards and upwards to the later 1980s, with some of the most famous Czech artists we've heard many times before on these pages, such as Stivin (who was in Jazz Q), Dasek (who played with Jazz Cellula), Svoboda (I raved about that April Orchestra he was featured in), etc. A possibly incomplete listing appears here.
The first album is quite basic big band, the 2nd simplicity itself, the fourth free jazz. The third though is interesting, and has both Brom's Orchestra on side b (which is why I came upon this) and the JOCR I featured before (for ex., here) on side a. All and complete infos here. The third track, with the title of Produkt Uboczy:
