AMERICAN JAZZ STAR MARKAS GIULJANA WILL PERFORM A CONCERT IN VILNIUS: WITH THE GROUP, HE WILL PERFORM HIS FAMOUS PERFORMANCE "BEAT MUSIC!"

On July 31, Lithuanian audiences a special event awaits. US jazz star Mark Guiliana will perform for the first time in our country, bringing his most famous project to Vilnius, the performance "Beat Music!", which conquered many concert halls. The secret of this show's popularity lies in the enchanting combination of jazz and electronic music, because "Beat Music!" is like a heated party, only the music is not played by a DJ, but by a group of musicians of the highest level. This exclusive concert, suitable for a summer evening, is held in an open space adapted for it - in one of the most beautiful courtyards of the capital's old town.

„ The New York Times calls Mark Guiliana "a drummer around whom a cult of worship has formed". A Grammy-nominated performer as well as a composer, he captivates listeners with his musical adventurous spirit and gift for spontaneous creativity. Considered a superstar by fans, he performs jazz as virtuosically as he does electronic music. Guiliana has played with such celebrities as jazz pianist Brad Mehldau, electronic music group M83, hip-hop artist Meshell Ndegeocello, singer St. Vincent, the group Pearl Jam and even the legendary David Bowie, whose last album Blackstar features the music of Mark Guiliano and his band. Guiliana recalls: “Bowie heard us play on stages in New York. He decided he wanted our sound for his album. Bowie asked us to play like we're used to! He used our sound as a model for his whole album.”

Mark Guiliana's genre-bending music grew out of different experiences: he first grew up exposed to rock music and started playing drums in 1995 m., when the "grunge" style was on the wave, and such bands as "Nirvana", "Pearl Jam", "Soundgarden" reigned. "I was immersed in this style, but thanks to the teachers I was introduced to the world of jazz and became interested in it," says Guiliana.

2014 Mark Guiliana's Beat Music! project has been enthralling audiences around the world with dynamic and innovative performances that pulsate with an electrifying fusion of jazz and heady electronic sounds. Thanks to Guiliana's visionary ideas, this project expands the boundaries of music, offering the audience a sonic journey that cannot be confined to the narrow frames of one style or another. Beat Music! is a group of amazing and creative instrumentalists, enhanced by Guiliana's own stunning virtuosity as a drummer. Bassist Chris Morrissey and keyboardist Nick Semrad provide an immersive mix of live instrumentation and electronic sounds. Together, the band members create an integral and inspiring performance with enchanting and unexpected sonic experiences. During the group's performances, the audience is transported to a sphere where traditional genre boundaries disappear, and the rhythm that overwhelms the fabric of music is created by complex polyrhythmic formulas and a pulsating "groove". Each composition unfolds with unpredictable energy, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in their own sonic landscapes.

Mark Guiliana and Beat Music! have performed at the legendary Montreal Jazz Festival, New York's Winter Jazz Festival, Tokyo's Billboard Live and more world concert halls in Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Barcelona, ​​Brussels, Istanbul, Dortmund, Dublin, Tel Aviv, Porto and other cities. The project is recorded in the album Beat Music! Beat Music! Beat Music!” (2019). In addition, Guiliana together with Brad Mehldau has recorded the wonderful album "Mehliana: Taming the Dragon" (2014), with David Bowie - not only "Black Star" (2016), but also "Nothing Has Changed", "Sue (Or in a Season of Crime)" (2014), also Guiliana played on David Bowie's music album "No Plan (EP)" (2017) etc.
