Event Description
After releasing his debut album, Lost Suite to tremendous critical acclaim during lockdown Karkauskas is now ready to emerge and bring the album to life. Lost Suite is a sole concept album full of depth, emotion and aspiration.
This is a unique moment when Irish audiences will hear for the first time the wonderful original music of this rare jazz talent who is destined to make a big international impact.
Gediminas took his time releasing his first album. When asked why now? - “I have spent years creating jazz classical influences with improvisation within a contemporary jazz framework. I would say I have become more open to share my music with the listener.” His first ambition was to see the album released and the second one was to share the music in a live setting.
"If, by some miracle (?), Gediminas Karkauskas came to Budapest - I would definitely watch and listen."
Dr. Sándor Nagy, Jazzma.hu
"Karkauskas is a superb technician, albeit without drawing attention to the fact, and his compositions, though far from simple, are both beautiful and accessible."
Ian Mann, The Jazz Mann
