Live in salaspils (2019)

Live In Salaspils is a concert-album by Jānis Rubiks and his Chamber Jazz Collective. It was recorded in a very unusual but beautiful location - The National Botanic Garden of Latvia in Salaspils.

Special and sacred, the garden is a place where nature and art merge into one united and harmonious whole. This natural, yet unusual environment served as a wonderful ground for music, improvisation, a lively atmosphere, flights of fancy and feelings to take root and blossom.
