Audrius Zalcas - trumpet Manvydas Pratkelis - saxophone Vytis Smolkas - piano Gediminas Stepanavičius - bass Augustas Baronas - drums (modern, hardbop, hip-hop, R'n’B) In 2018, the music world lost one of the most influential and versatile jazz trumpeters of his generation – Roy Hargrove. This two-time GRAMMY winner left an indelible mark on jazz history with his virtuosic playing, innovative compositions, and wide spectrum of musical styles. Over his career, he released an impressive number of albums, including 24 as a leader, and collaborated with some of the biggest names in music. From Afro-Cuban jazz to hard bop, R&B, hip-hop, and afrobeat, Hargrove masterfully blended various styles and broke musical boundaries. His ability to seamlessly transition between genres made him a beacon for both traditional jazz lovers and young musicians exploring contemporary music. Hargrove's influence reached far beyond his recordings. As a mentor and collaborator, he inspired a new generation of artists, shaping the direction of jazz and its interaction with other genres. His contribution is heard not only in his own work but also in the music of many artists he played with – from jazz legends like Herbie Hancock and Wynton Marsalis to contemporary hip-hop and R&B stars like D'Angelo and Erykah Badu. His ability to transcend genre boundaries earned him wide respect both within and outside the jazz world, establishing him as a true musical innovator. To honor Roy Hargrove's legacy, Lithuanian musicians have come together for a special concert dedicated to remembering this outstanding artist. They will perform some of his most famous compositions and other pieces that Hargrove popularized with his unique style. This concert will not only celebrate Hargrove's immense contribution to jazz but will also reflect his deep impact on musicians worldwide, including in Lithuania. This tribute promises to be a powerful experience.
