Today, the Spotlight shines On Lithuanian drummer and producer Marijus Aleksa.

Marijus has worked as a band leader, session musician and solo artist, and in each setting, his sound is his own, reflecting his interests in jazz, world and electronic club music.

Marijus spent a decade in London, embedded in the dynamic new jazz scene there. Now back in Lithuania, he recently programmed a small local jazz festival in Vilnius, Tamsta Jazz Weekend. At the same time, he was rolling out his latest release, As They Are (Music Information Centre Lithuania). In this talk, Marijus takes listeners into the musical collage that is the new album and provides insight into multiple aspects of his creativity.
