(modern jazz, neo-soul)<\/p>\n
Pianist and composer Giedrius Nakas presents a programme of original music featuring compositions from his jazz albums. His music brings modern jazz together with neo-soul, hip-hop, classical music, rock and the dramatic storytelling of film scores. One moment it can be delicate, lyrical and hypnotic; the next, it bursts with vibrant energy, unexpected rhythms and improvisation.<\/strong><\/p>\n One of Giedrius\u2019s standout releases is \u201cNo Fear, Full Of Love\u201d, recorded in New York with internationally acclaimed US jazz musicians Ben Williams, Justin Brown, Troy Roberts and Caleb Curtis. Its compositions feature memorable melodies, striking contrasts and a constant balance between carefully written music and spontaneous improvisation.<\/p>\n Another important milestone is \u201cThe Dream I Forgot\u201d. Its music evokes a dream or a film without a screen: extended, multi-part compositions gradually build tension, shift moods and unfold a narrative of their own. The focus is as much on the ensemble\u2019s sensitive interplay as on individual virtuosity, giving each live performance new colours.<\/p>\n Giedrius Nakas studied in Vilnius, The Hague, Groningen and New York, and has performed widely across Europe and the United States. Lithuanian audiences also know him through collaborations with Andrius Mamontovas, Jurga, Monika Liu, Monika Linkyt\u0117, Saul\u0117s Klio\u0161as and other prominent artists. He has presented his original music at Kaunas Jazz, \u0160iauliai Jazz, Paliesius Manor and other concert venues.<\/p>\n Tonight, four outstanding jazz musicians from the Baltic states come together on stage.<\/p>\n The first 30 tickets \u2013 at the cheapest price. <\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":236483,"template":"","categories":[6,4],"tags":[],"ticket-vendor":[46],"class_list":["post-236482","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-festivaliai","category-koncertai","ticket-vendor-kakava-lt"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
