Music by iconic composers of the past—particularly from that part of Greek musical heritage often (and somewhat inadequately) described as “light music.” Their work spans a vast range, from classical composition to film music—and, of course, song.
Both the composers and their creations were clearly influenced by the jazz of their time.
The programme features works by Giannidis, Kapnisís, Spartakos, Mouzakis, Morakis, among others, presented in mainstream jazz arrangements inspired by the style of the 1950s–60s, without compromising their authentic jazz character.
The performance, like the album of the same title, is dedicated to the great Greek jazz pianist Manolis Mikelis.
