Maris Briezkalns Quintet
MBQ is one of the leading and more interesting small acoustic – and mainstream - bands on the Latvian jazz scene. Specialising in a pop jazz and Latin jazz repertoire, it has so far performed at many jazz venues and festivals in Europe and America. In 2005 Maris Briezkalns and his friends produced their first album, entitled “Latvian Evergreens”, not imagining that it would lead to much.
