Die Welt ist Traum(a)
[Jazz on Romanticism] (2004)
It is already the third crossover project by Linas Rimša and Linas
Paulauskis, besides Opera in da House and Sutartinës Party
(before that, Linas Rimša and his band made their debut at the
Gaida festival in 2001, with Acid Paraphrases on themes by
contemporary Lithuanian composers). This time it is a crossover
between classical, jazz and electronica, featuring Dutch jazz &
dance trumpet goddess Saskia Laroo, and a motley crew of
excellent Lithuanian classical and jazz musicians. Romantic
music, romantic dreams and feelings is the key, though the
overripe sugary fruit of romanticism is served here with a
slightly toxic acid sauce...
SASKIA LAROO is a professional trumpet player with her own
very special sound. Her musical styles vary from jazz to dance
to world to pop music.
Saskia Laroo performs worldwide with her own bands or as a
special guest. She has her own record label: “Laroo Records”
