Dainius Pulauskas Group
Dainius Pulauskas Group was formed in 1996 and instantly became one of the most influential and leading Lithuanian jazz units and an internationally renowned ambassador of Lithuanian jazz. Jazz critic Jan Patterson, in his article portal All About Jazz (October 10, 2011) described the group as “a unique sextet whose mixture of melody and muscle, lyricism and the unexpected, places it firmly at the forefront of progressive European jazz-fusion” and the group leader is characterized as “pianist/keyboardist Pulauskas is without a doubt, one of the most interesting composers at the fusion end of European jazz, and has been at the helm of this sextet for seventeen years”.
The Finnish jazz critic Risto Haapsamo referred to the band as a ‘forceful pulse of modern jazz.” “Pulauskas together with his colleagues makes the best ever possible fusion (…) It’s been a long time since I heard such talented jazz masters,” – writes Swedish reviewer Bo Levender.
The group started in 1996 at the Birštonas Jazz Festival. In 1997 they released the debut album “Penetration”. Dainius Pulauskas Group has beaten all local records by rising to the hall of fame of Lithuanian jazz in an amazingly short time.
During the years of its existence D.P.G. has participated at many prestigious European, African, Asiatic and American jazz festivals.
