Ensemble is a professional jazz orchestra founded in 2022 and led by composer Jievaras Jasinskis. Bringing together some of Lithuania\u2019s most talented musicians and composers, the ensemble aims to expand the creative possibilities of Lithuanian jazz. The group performs in various formations \u2013 Big Band, eleven-piece, six-piece, and trio ensembles \u2013 each offering unique original programs and distinctive sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJazz can be incredibly diverse,\u201d says artistic director Jievaras Jasinskis. \u201cI often hear that jazz isn\u2019t for everyone, and I find it fascinating to challenge that idea. Why shouldn\u2019t jazz include elements of contemporary music, rave, techno, rock, or folk? Our goal is to bring together like-minded jazz creators and musicians, providing them with a platform to explore and express themselves through jazz.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key Achievements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>International Scene: Performances at Aarhus Jazz Festival, Tallinn Music Week, Luznava Jazz, a concert tour in Denmark, collaboration with composer Kenneth Dahl Knudsen, premiere and recording of his ARDM composition dedicated to Vilnius JJAZZ Ensemble.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lithuanian Scene: Original program with the St. Christopher Chamber Orchestra, release of Odd Numbers (an album featuring nine JJAZZ composers), music for the film \u201cVilnius Poker\u201d, and performances at Lithuania\u2019s major jazz festivals (Nida Jazz, \u0160iauliai Jazz, Vilnius MAMA Jazz, Marijampol\u0117 Jazz, Ma\u017eeikiai Cultural Festival, Broma Jazz, \u0160iauliai Big Band Festival).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Discography:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>American Stories \u2013 2022 (LP, digital)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saxcess \u2013 2023 (digital)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deadly Dance \u2013 2024 (LP, digital)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>RAVENJAZZ \u2013 2024 (digital)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Odd Numbers \u2013 2025 (Double LP, digital)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ansamblio sud\u0117tys Vilnius JJAZZ Ensemble \u2013 2022 metais \u012fkurtas profesionali\u0173 d\u017eiazo atlik\u0117j\u0173 orkestras, vadovaujamas kompozitoriaus Jievaro Jasinskio, vienija talentingus Lietuvos muzikantus ir kompozitorius, siekian\u010dius atverti naujas lietuvi\u0161ko d\u017eiazo skambesio galimybes.
