Well oh well oh well, what a mess. Let's get a couple of facts straight, boys and girls:
1) Jazz Celula, aka Jazz Cellula, was a Czechoslovak group. In fact, from the eight core members only Laco Déczi was of Slovak origin, and he lived in Prague since the mid 1960s. So calling them even a "Czech" group wouldn't be inappropriate at all... :)
2) Oheň až požár was actually sort of their second album, the first one being Pietoso released as "Laco Déczi & The Cellula Quintet" in 1969 (pretty heavy stuff close to free jazz...). Jazz Cellula also released a third album "Laco Déczi - Jazz Cellula" in 1977 on Opus - slightly more disco-fied, but still groovy. And there's also the EP "Mini jazz klub 21" from 1979 on Panton.
3) ALL members of this group were at the SAME TIME members of the Jazz/Dance Orchestra of the Czechoslovak Radio Prague, aka JOČR/TOČR. Especially as TOČR they play likely on MORE Czech records than anyone else. Only from the 1970s I have over 100 records (7" and LPs) with TOČR backing pop singers. And they have released several jazz/funk albums as JOČR as well, which was sort of like Jazz Cellula plus a large horn section (i.e. a jazz big band).
Happy digging...

koumes@soukroma.cz: And it is worth mentioning that you can buy CD here: http://www.indies.eu/us/umelci/192/laco-deczi-a-jazz-cellula/ I loved their music at the same level as music from Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul, Miles Davis or Miroslav Vitous. Also you should hear the other individuals' names: tb - Svatopluk Kosvanec, dr - Josef Vejvoda, ts- Petr Kral, g - Zdenek Sarka Dvorak, p - Karel Ruzicka, b - Petr Korinek, perc - Josef Tomek. The fact is that this record (Oheň až požár = Fire if not conflagration) is their best one
