Here we focus is mainly on its lighter genres – electro-jazz, jazz-funk, jazz-mugham, jazz-choral, folk-jazz from the Baltic States, the Lesser Caucasus, Central Asia and Russia. To this music it is really pleasant to float through the spring city – so many melodies and much relaxation in it!

These radio shows are recordings of live events, happenings to explore the tensions that exist between the public and private.
