VIKTORIJA GEČYTĖ and VYTAUTAS STRAIŽYS

Downtown Piano Lab presents a long-awaited musical surprise for jazz lovers and invites you to a special meeting with Viktorija Gečytė and Vytautas Straižys! Viktorija Gečytė, a well-known Lithuanian jazz star, whose unique vocal timbre and creative work have been acclaimed by listeners and critics in Europe and across the Atlantic. Refined phrasing, a unique vocal sound, infectious swing, and all the most beautiful colors of jazz are vividly reflected in Viktorija's performances and personal creations. The vocalist, who lives in France, not only emphasizes New York jazz traditions in her musical performances but also creates exceptional improvisations, allowing listeners to immerse themselves in an emotion-filled vocal journey, hear motifs of various cultural sounds, and experience true jazz mastery. This time, Viktorija Gečytė's voice will resonate in a unique performance alongside pianist and virtuoso Vytautas Straižys! Vytautas, who studied music at the M.K Čiurlionis Conservatory and the Royal Conservatory in the Netherlands, is a versatile performer, creator, and master of the keys, capable of astonishing audiences with rich, full-bodied harmony. The ability to merge stylistic elements of various genres in professionally executed improvisations is the pianist's distinctive feature when creating and performing music. Inspired by Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, up to Sergej Rachmaninoff and Claude Debussy, V. Straižys is like a broad musical palette, designed even for the most discerning music and especially jazz gourmets. The Dainyklos project is partially funded by Vilnius City Municipality.
