Neda Malūnavičiūtė – vocal, flute
Vytautas Labutis – saxophones, bass clarinet
Richardas Banys – piano


In mid-2017, longtime stage partners Vytautas Labutis and Neda Malūnavičiūtė began performing with the young, creative pianist Richardas Banys. It's no surprise, as this duo, active since the 1990s, has always been drawn to experimentation. Over their many years of partnership, Vytautas and Neda have developed an unparalleled telepathic style of communication and ensemble feel, enabling them to bring any idea to life. Their vocabulary of improvisation is inexhaustible. The trio performs a program of their own original compositions as well as works by other authors, turning their performances into an indescribable and highly memorable blend of different musical styles and colors, texts, and even theatrical elements. This trio has performed at the Birštonas Jazz Festival, Vilnius Mama Jazz Festival, Kiev's "Jednist" Jazz Festival, and numerous other locations and concert halls throughout Lithuania.
