Salto Mortale from Strung Out by Chris Ruebens & Mindaugas Stumbras

Salto Mortale, meaning "deadly jump," is a playful term that evokes the thrill and daring of acrobatics or circus performances. This concept is reflected in the tune's lively rhythms in the style of samba and unexpected melodic twists.

Mindaugas Stumbras is one of the most prominent Lithuanian jazz guitarists and composers, whose music seamlessly blends emotional depth, intellectual subtlety, and a rich sonic imagination. Having established himself on the international scene, he graduated from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, and his works and improvisations are heard at prestigious jazz festivals and clubs across Europe.
