Dainius Pulauskas Group 于1995年逐渐成立并旋即成立为立陶宛炙手可热的爵士乐团,并载誉国际。多年来, 乐队巡回欧洲多国演出, 更曾参与中国、印度、印尼、马来西亚以及美国等地的爵士音乐节。毫无疑问，Dainius Pulauskas Group已是立陶宛当今最为著名和活跃的爵士乐队之一。
Dainius Pulauskas Group 不仅享誉国内，更疯魔海外乐迷，海外演出比国内更多。乐团的演出备受观众与乐评人赞誉。芬兰爵士乐评人 R.Haapsamo 称誉他们的音乐为“现代爵士的一股强劲活力”；瑞士乐评人 Bo Levender 认为，Pulauskas与他的队友创作了史上最好的融合爵士乐,其音乐面貌多变至令人“眼花缭乱”,这好比将摇摆乐节奏和规律飞跃翻腾一样充满动感，而且这真的是最名副其实的纯粹、原始的爵士乐。
该组合的特点是能够灵活地融合电子与传统乐器来创造动人的音乐空间。团队的每位成员都是独当一面的专业演奏家，他们频繁地出现在立陶宛的爵士舞台上，并能够完美地与其他团体一起演出。
With no doubt, one of the most distinct and active teams of Lithuanian jazz, D.Pulauskas’ group was gradually formed from 1995. D.Pulauskas’ Group rapidly entered the area of Lithuanian jazz and over a very short period of time it became one of the most significant Lithuanian jazz groups. Soon the group was acknowledged internationally. Over the years of its activities, the Group has performed in a number of European countries as well as in jazz festivals in China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and USA.
Currently Dainius Pulauskas Group is well known not only for Lithuanian but also for foreign audience. Currently the group performs more abroad than in Lithuania. Its performances are usually well received by audience and critics. “The Dainius Palauskas Group is a unique sextet whose mixture of melody and muscle, lyricism and the unexpected, places it firmly at the forefront of progressive European jazz-fusion” Jan Patterson All About Jazz. The Finnish jazz critic R.Haapsamo called their music “a powerful pulse of the modern jazz”. The Swedish critic Bo Levender states that “Pulauskas, together with his colleagues creates the best fusion as it can be. The variety of their musical expression is ‘giddy’. These are the somersaults of tearaway swinging and rhythms, and… the most genuine, pure and unembellished jazz.”
Dainius Pulauskas Group is distinguished by its stylistics as the group using electronic and acoustic instruments creates a very eloquent music space, a very peculiar version of fusion. Also the Group is very unique because of its extreme ensemble and mastership of all the members. All the members are professional musicians, who very frequently appear on Lithuanian jazz stage and who are excellent when performing together with different groups.
