Radio SWH Jazz Club with Maria Mendes

"I see a bright and promising future for this young talented singer!" said the legendary jazz pianist and producer of Michael Jackson's album Thriller, Quincy Jones, about the Portugese jazz diva Maria Mendes.
In the intimate tête-à-tête atmosphere of the event, the audience will have the opportunity to experience the soulfulness of traditional Portuguese fado combined with the lyricism of jazz, as well as jazz music standards.

Since March 2024, Spīķeri Concert Hall has been hosting jazz evenings hosted by radio personalities from Radio SWH. For a limited time, the concert hall becomes a world-class jazz club with a unique ambience. Concert guests enjoy the events in a relaxed atmosphere at tables where they are served appetizers specially prepared by chef Lauris Aleksejevs (appetizers and a special cocktail are included in the price of each ticket). Radio SWH Jazz Club has already welcomed world-class stars such as American trombonist Marshall Gilkes, Danish violinist Line Kruse, Grammy-nominated Cuban vocalist Daymé Arocena, and others. Vinyl DJ Mareks Ameriks is in charge of the musical atmosphere of the concert venue, and, additionally, Jersika Records runs a record stand. During the events, visitors can purchase additional refreshments of their choice at the café.
