Jazz Miniatures VII is a fantastic album that showcases the talents of Giedrė Kilčiauskienė, Andrej Polevikov, Vytis Nivinskas, and Darius Rudis. The album features a collection of jazz miniatures that are both intricate and melodic, with each musician bringing their own unique style to the table.
The album opens with "Blues for Three," a lively and upbeat track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, the musicians take listeners on a journey through a variety of moods and styles, from the sultry "Autumn Leaves" to the playful "Funky Monkey."
Throughout the album, Kilčiauskienė's piano playing is a standout, with her nimble fingers dancing across the keys and bringing the melodies to life. Polevikov's saxophone playing is equally impressive, with his soulful solos adding depth and emotion to the tracks.
Nivinskas and Rudis provide a solid rhythm section, with Nivinskas' bass anchoring the songs and Rudis' drums providing a lively beat that keeps things moving.
