Greek Jazz Panorama

Onassis Cultural Centre, Athens

Petros Klampanis uses two catchy, Greek-flavoured tunes - the 'Thalassaki' and the 'Hariklaki' to communicate directly with both a Greek audience, which is always flattered when a Western jazzman references the popular and traditional music of their homeland, and with an international public, which has a liking for attractive and exhilarating exotic, eastern sounds! However, Klampanis' investment in Greek music is more than surface deep, and there is a clear desire on the part of this genuinely imaginative and creative musician to fully master a musical code which can generate musical idioms from a different culture and tradition. Of course, in the case of the composer and double bassist, this is also a declaration of identity and of roots; it would seem that this is what Petros Klampanis really wants, and he has produced some truly marvellous work to date, both alone and in collaboration with the musicians who join forces under the Contextual label. 14 December 2014 20:30 Main Stage.
