Dear jazz fans!

It gives me immense pleasure to invite you to the 23rd edition of the Nida Jazz Marathon festival, which we will celebrate in one of the world’s most enchanting locations – in the very heart of Nida, on the lagoon pier, with our inaugural concert set to take place in the Thomas Mann house.

Nida Jazz Marathon isn’t merely a music event, it is also a wonderful opportunity to discover one of the most exquisite places in Lithuania, abundant in culture and art. Don’t miss this splendid occasion to experience the magic of jazz on the lagoon!

From the 3rd to the 5th of August, the town will come alive with the melodies of jazz, and I invite you to come and indulge in our promise of a particularly vibrant and cheerful festival. Listen, enjoy, engage, unwind, and rest assured, we will spare no effort to ensure your fond impressions.

See You!

LEMBIT SAARSALU and LEONID VINTSKEVICH

Can you imagine a permanently working duo with one member living in Paris, the other in Vienna? That is what Lembit Saarsalu and Leonid Vintskevich have been doing for years, the former living in Tallinn, Estonia, the latter in Kursk, Russia. Their duo, JAZZ FOR TWO, has performed at many festivals: Prague (1984), Berlin (1985), Leipzig (1986), the JVC North Sea Jazz Festival in the Hague (1986). So far, JAZZ FOR TWO has made two albums: "Two Playing Jazz" (1986) and "Blues for the Night" (1991). The stylistic range of the duo is wide, reaching from jazz standards (in their…

Sporting a lineup of latest and greatest musicians, he is joined by…

LAS KARAMBA

Love is the beginning and the final purpose, and music accompanies it. In this post-pandemic technological era in which physical contact has become a luxury and human relationships are influenced by followers, likes and views, we need to reconnect with the greatest source of power on Earth: love. That inherent energy that resides within us and identifies us as emotional beings.

Las Karamba begin the “Humanity” tour this year, in 2023, after…

VERY COOL PEOPLE

The best-known Latvian jazzfunk band Very Cool People released a live album Woodstock’s Renaissance dedicated to the heydays of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and The Doors. It was made together with Latvian pop singer Aija Andrejeva. The concept of Woodstock’s Renaissance was born in 2020, when Very Cool People together with Aija Andrejeva performed at the international improvisation, jazz and global music festival Rīgas Ritmi. A concert program dedicated to Janis Joplin was presented there. It was later supplemented with songs by Jimi Hendrix and The Doors and became Woodstock’s Renaissance. The new program was presented in April 2022 in…
