The Latvian Secondary Music Schools Joint Ensemble is a collective established in 2026, which unites the brightest young jazz and contemporary music talents from various Latvian educational institutions.

The ensemble's repertoire consists of original compositions that intertwine modal jazz, elements of popular music and rich jazz harmony. The compositions also use non-standard time signatures and structural contrasts, creating a multi-layered and unpredictable musical experience.

Improvisation plays a significant role in the ensemble's sound, which gives each concert spontaneity and individuality.
