LIUDAS MOCKŪNAS

With this double album Liudas Mockūnas – undoubtedly the best-known avant-garde music saxophone player in Lithuania introduces himself as a performer of contemporary classical music. As he says: “This album, I believe, might come as a surprise for listeners who are familiar only with my work in the fields of improvised music and avant-garde jazz. However, various genres of music as diverse as classical and jazz, free improvisation and contemporary classical were always there along the way, playing a significant role in shaping my approach to musical performance as an improviser and a musician in general – an approach that blurs distinctions not only between different genres but also between improvised and composed music, improvisation and interpretation.”
