About the event
Pianist and composer Giedrius Nakas presents a program of original music, featuring pieces from his jazz albums. This is music where modern jazz meets neo-soul, hip-hop, classical, rock and film music dramaturgy. One moment it can be subtle, lyrical and hypnotic, the next – bursting with impetuous energy, unexpected rhythms and improvisations.
One of Giedriaus' most notable works is the album "No Fear, Full Of Love", recorded in New York, featuring internationally acclaimed American jazz musicians Ben Williams, Justin Brown, Troy Roberts and Caleb Curtis. The compositions on the album are distinguished by their memorable melodies, contrasts and constant balance between carefully written music and spontaneous improvisation.
Another important creative stage is the album "The Dream I Forgot". His music resembles a dream or a movie without a screen: longer, multi-part compositions gradually build tension, change moods and create a unique plot. Not only individual virtuosity is important here, but also the sensitive dialogue of the entire ensemble, which is why each live performance takes on new colors.
Giedrius Nakas studied in Vilnius, The Hague, Groningen and New York, and has performed in many European countries and the USA. He is also known to the Lithuanian audience from joint projects with Andrius Mamontovs, Jurga, Monika Liu, Monika Linkyte, the group "Saulės Kliošas" and other well-known performers. His original program has been performed at the festivals "Kaunas Jazz", "Šiauliai Jazz", Paliesius Manor and other concert stages.
Four great jazz musicians from the Baltic States will meet on stage tonight.
