SNUS | LOW BLOW

+++SNUS – international jazz and improvisational music sextet. This ensemble unites young artists from Lithuanian and Danish music scenes whom invite listeners to dive into original compositions in the context of European contemporary music. The project formed last year (2022) as a result for preparing for the contest “Vilnius Jazz Festival Young Power” in which they won several nominations as “the most original composition of the contest” and “a discovery of the contest” (for a member – Apolinaras Dubauskas).

The music of this ensemble stands out with it’s unorthodox creative decisions and innovativity of the music which you can hear both in the compositions as well as in the live performances. One can strongly feel influences of the contemporary European music, contemporary jazz music, free improvisation and groove music.

It is an extraordinary project in Lithuanian Jazz music scene not only because of the alternative constellation of the band, but it also stands out as the collaboration between the leaders of everyone’s solo or band projects.
