Jazz musicians, classical string quartet, brass section and electronical effects of a turntable artist – this is not a random musicians order, but the whole process that makes a special world out of sounds and remakes it within every second.

The band is founded by Artjoms Sarvi – MA in jazz in Latvian Music Academy, one of the most talented jazz piano players, and Evilena Protektore – jazz singer, 3rd place in Riga Jazz Stage, Grand Prix in Jazz Voices 2014, composer and leader of “Pieneņu Vīns”. In the program called “Colors of Summer” they will demonstrate their view on what colors the summer has and guide the listener through their deep inner world of music.
