about
Founded in 1987, the ensemble has established itself as one of the leaders of Lithuanian vocal jazz. In 2001 Centre of Folk Culture has rated Jazz Land as the best Lithuanian vocal ensemble and presented it with Golden Bird prize. The same year the ensemble has won the national competition Silver Voices and released the first album. Jazz Land performs in both prestigious venues and little towns. The ensemble has participated in jazz festivals in Vilnius, Birštonas, and Panevėžys, in 2002 represented Lithuania in The Fourth Nordic and Baltic Song Festival in Klaipėda, and in 2003 gave dazzling performance in the Great Parade of Musicians. Jazz Land has made numerous recordings for Lithuanian Radio. The ensemble has gained acclaim from listeners and music experts alike not only at home but also in Latvia, Poland, Denmark, Germany, Austria and Switzerland (famous Montreux jazz festival). In 1994 Jazz Land won first prize in the International Choir Competition in Oskarshamn (Sweden), and in 1999 became the winner of Vocal Ensemble Competition in Tampere (Finland). The members of Jazz Land are experts in scat singing, their supple voices project the most delicate nuances. The ensemble keeps expanding its repertoire with complex jazz compositions and Lithuanian works, arranged by A.Novikas.
