The formation in classical composition (piano, double-bass and drums) originated in 2000 in Prague with Mexican pianist Mark Anderud. This collaboration reached its height with the recording of a CD named "Trio '02  which was released by the publishing house ARTA. The CD was determined by magazine Harmonie as „The best Czech jazz record of year 2002“. In the same year Mark Anderud was replaced by a young Slovak piano player Matej Benko and at the beggining of September 2003 Jan Linhart took over drums.

The trio performs regularly in Prague's many  jazz clubs as well as throughout Czech Republic (Karlovy Vary, Cheb, Cesky Krumlov, Slany, Prerov, Hradec Kralove, Liberec, Pisek, Jesenik, Brno) and also abroad (Presov, Kosice, Zvolen, Visegrad, Berlin, Cottbus, Sibiu, Bucuresti, Chisinau, Madrid-Fitour, Toledo,....).

Summer of 2004 gave birth to a new CD called "Keporkak". It was again released by ARTA. The CD obtained „Tip of magasine Harmonie“, which is the highest ranking of Harmonie (03/2005), and its song Dreamer  came out in Japanese sampler Jazz Bar 2005.

The cooperation with Matej Benko peaked in May 2007 by invitation of mr. Tomoyuki Ohsawa to Japan. http://invs.exblog.jp/i31, Vit Svec Trio 公演 Three concerts were performed in Tokyo (czech embassy and twice in Pit Inn jazz club) and one after another in Nagoya (Doxy), Yokohama (Dolphy).  http://web.mac.com/strip_01/
