– Artūrs Sebris
“From a notepad filled with holes that came from tears to an opportunity to play with my musical idols – that is how I could summarise my path in music.”
The clarinet I so hated in my childhood serves me beautifully now while I hold my well-earned place in the big band.
When I graduated from my clarinet class at the age of 15, I started learning the saxophone, and that is when Raitis Ašmanis introduced me to the wonderful world of jazz music. My journey began in his youth big band, and soon, he persuaded me to enroll in music school. At that point, I got the opportunity to play with a professional ensemble, Jelgavas Big Band, that was led by the very same R. Ašmanis, and it was a fantastic place to study outside the music school since I got to learn from my older colleagues. I must add that I still am a part of this big band…
