| Greek saxophonist Dimitri Vassilakis Plays in New York and Chicago April 19th (at Sweet Rhythm) and 20th (at The Cutting Room) in New York and Saturday April 29th at the HotHouse in Chicago Greek saxophonist Dimitri Vassilakis will perform the music from his new album on Candid Records "Parallel Lines". "Greek saxophone prodigy Dimitri Vassilakis is revered as the Hellenic god of post-modern expression as he proves on his provocative new CD Parallel Lines (Candid). A rhapsodic stylist of immense power and authority" ~London Jazz Festival 2005 "A very impressive trio outing...explosive in its impact, with Vassilakis's energized and inventive soloing on tenor and soprano, (suggestive at times of Sonny Rollins and David Liebman respectively), surging over the propulsive rhythms, but also incorporating subtler use of light and shade and musical colour. The groove tracks are a kind of meditation, while the last track "The Drum Think" is a dramatic tenor/drums overdub" ~ Jazzwise 1/06 write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
