By founding his jazz sextet in 1996, Dainius Pulauskas has filled a gap that has until now existed in fusion in Lithuania. The sextet made their début in 1997 by releasing the album Penetration. Their performance in Birštonas jazz festival in 1998 caught Lithuanian audience by surprise: this was the kind of jazz that had never been played in Lithuania before.

Vilnius Jazz, Kaunas Jazz, Birštonas jazz festivals and two albums, namely Penetration and 1999 witness a huge inspiration.

"Autumn Suite" is the name of the sextet's latest album and performance, which are living proof of the group's inclination towards freer improvisational jazz and compositions large in form.
