Mindaugas Stumbras

Information

Mindaugas Stumbras is a Lithuanian jazz guitarist based in Glasgow. He is a new generation jazz musician who plays both, modern jazz and contemporary music. His music is very dynamic, colourful and versatile. Beautiful and picturesque compositions are influenced by broad European jazz scene, American jazz tradition, Lithuanian folk music and Scandinavian improvisational music scene.
