Jazz from around the World

Festivals in Lithuania.

I have only visited Lithuania once, but I had a great time getting to know the people there. They have a Jazz fesitval called the ViniusJazz festival. The City of Vinius is a very quiet place with it's old age eastern feel to it. I do remember that the town had the Black Madonna in the church. I also remember that the market place had many different types of Amber.

They had Black ,White and Yellow Amber also. Listen I mean they had Amber, and lots of it. So I ask someone why and they told me that it comes from the Baltic sea. So yes I was in the area where Amber comes from. I didn't know this until then. I brought back so many pieces that I end-up giving most of it away. We had a great time there, we went inside the city and discovered many interesting things about the City. I only had two days to discover this also. But the festival was great and the music was one-of-a-kind. It's a remote part of the world, but thats the beauty of it.
