Karolis Šarkus Trio

Karolis Šarkus — saxophones Gediminas Stepanavičius — double bass Domantas Razmus — drums (modern jazz, post bop) Having experimented together numerous times and met in various ensembles, these three young and vibrant musicians decided to join forces and debut as a jazz trio. Eschewing a harmony-indicating instrument, they convey chord voicings and rhythmic combinations using only two monophonic instruments and a drum kit. The program features jazz tradition presented in a contemporary format — with new compositions or arrangements of jazz standards. The trio's initiator, Karolis Šarkus, is a saxophonist and composer of the young Lithuanian jazz generation, combining jazz tradition with a modern sound. Having studied in the Netherlands and the USA, he currently performs actively in Lithuania and abroad, and recently won the prestigious „Premio Internazionale Massimo Urbani“ (Italy) and „Big Band Composition Contest for Young Baltic Composers“ (Latvia) competitions. Double bassist Gediminas Stepanavičius is a very active performer of improvisational and contemporary music, who studied at the Amsterdam Conservatory with Karolis. Domantas Razmus is a drummer and percussionist of the young Lithuanian generation of jazz and improvisational music. He is currently actively developing a unique project that combines sensory percussion and visualizations. Domantas can be seen on stage with „Vilnius JJAZZ Ensemble“ and other groups.
