At Jazz Cellar 11 – two special concerts by the Vilnius JJAZZ Ensemble. This year their album “Odd Numbers” received the M.A.M.A. “Jazz of the Year” award, and this very program will be performed on the club stage.
This ambitious JJAZZ project is a musical journey intertwining fusion, minimalism, traditional jazz, funk, rock, psychedelia, techno, and electronics. This vibrant genre synthesis is conveyed through the distinct works of each composer, all while maintaining the signature JJAZZ sound.
When asked to describe JJAZZ concerts, the ensemble’s leader, composer, arranger, and trombonist Jievaras Jasinskis, said:
“I truly believe a jazz concert can venture into existentialism, exploration, and also dance and laughter. A concert can offer a broad emotional spectrum, and with so many diverse personalities in our group, it’s inevitable. However, I must admit this program won’t lack energetic, rhythmic rock darkness.”
The ensemble made its debut in Lithuania at the end of 2022, opening the celebration of Vilnius’ 700th anniversary and contributing as performers and co-authors of the soundtrack for Donatas Ulvydas’ film Vilniaus Pokeris. Since then, JJAZZ has performed over 80 concerts in Lithuania and abroad. Their music has resonated not only at jazz festivals across Lithuanian towns and cities but also on grand stages such as the July 6th event at Cathedral Square and the Young as Vilnius festival in Vingis Park.
The collective also created and performed an original program with the St. Christopher Chamber Orchestra and was invited to perform at one of Denmark’s largest jazz festivals, Aarhus Jazz.
