The night concert can be called the alchemy of modern jazz and cello, in which the famous French cellist Vincent Courtois, as if an alchemist, using his artistic powers and spells, will try to solve the mystery of immortality and eternal life. V. Courtois is one of the few grandmasters of this instrument in jazz, he has been releasing solo albums since the 1990s. Classical education provided the cello virtuoso with excellent professional foundations and impeccable playing technique. V. Courtois's music paradoxically combines freedom and wonderful precision, attention to details. He bases his performances, aptly described by someone as "unique musical explorations", in a spirit of trust and mutual engagement. The audience of "Vilnius Jazz 2018" could feel such a spirit when V. Courtois held his impressive concert there. And tonight he will spread the spell of cello improvisation in Klaipėda.
