With the studio we've been quiet for a while on the Social Media, but working hard on a number of great projects over the last months. One of which is the debut album of 'our' Yiannis Mitsios, who studied Jazz in Amsterdam and Rotterdam but hails from the town of Arta in Greece, where we live. Yiannis is known in these parts as 'that incredible shredder kid, whatever happened to him?' from before he left to study in Holland about 10 years ago, but he returns with soulful melodies, mature compositions and a musical vocabulary tapping into both his Greek roots, Jazz, Rock and Pop without ever sounding contrived. Add to that the fact that he has gathered a bunch of upcoming star players from the European Jazz scene to form a quintet, and we're set up for a real treat. It was incredible fun working with Yiannis on editing and mixing these tracks. This is the first single, 'SPIRIT OF FREEDOM', a superb modern Jazz composition in 13/8. Recording was done in Holland by Giorgos Dekos (I'm not sure which studio) and even though everything was recorded in two sessions of only a few hours, they even managed to get some footage by Richard Nacinelli and some GoPro cameras, whith which we stitched together this live video.
Full credits at the end of the video, but the line up is Yiannis Mitsios composition / Guitar, Daniel Bulatkin on keys, Eva Serrano on bass, Marios Charalampous on tenor sax and Nikolas Tsangaris on drums.
