Rahel Talts Quartet @ Jazz Cellar 11, Vilnius

Rahel Talts Quartet is a group that plays Estonian rising jazz pianist and composer Rahel Talts's original music. They are all from different countries, but met in Denmark years ago where they also studied.  

The quartet plays music which could best be described as energetic, acoustic, melodic jazz which has some influences from Baltic and Nordic folk, from traditional jazz and perhaps also from pop music. Rahel likes to use some beautiful, catchy melodies, juicy harmonies and groovy beats in her music, mixing it up with melodies inspired by Baltic folk, and occasionally adding in some arrangements of Estonian folk songs as well.

They have just released a new album "Back and Forth" (November 2025) which is already making waves amongst European jazz listeners. Before that, the group released another well received album "Greener Grass" (May 2023) after which they toured in Europe - Germany, France, Denmark, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia - and Asia - Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia. Rahel Talts Quartet has played at many prestigious festivals like Jazz Baltica, Copenhagen Jazz Festival, Jazz à la Petite France, Nordischer Klang, Jazzkaar and many more.
