Trombone is a rare guest on the JazzCellar11 stage. And all preconceptions about this instrument will be shattered when you hear how many nuances, folds and technical possibilities this instrument has. With its wide range of colours, the trombone beautifully captures the essence of both classical jazz and modern jazz.
Viktors Ritovs, Lauris Amantovs, Andris Grunte and Artis Orubs - undoubtedly some of the finest jazz musicians in Latvia - make up the evening's jazz quartet. The ensemble's repertoire includes both well-known and much-loved jazz standards and original compositions, expertly arranged by the members of the ensemble in different styles, from bebop to jazz rock, from blues to swing. Preserving and nurturing the rich and deep traditions and nuances of jazz, they demonstrate a high level of interplay and synergy, adding masterful solo improvisations to each piece.
