Another little 'treat' featuring Vasilis Xenopoulos
https://youtu.be/8gurb1zkQIs?si=M4eaNGQanxFw2sPj

AND some rave reviews to convince those of you who are still 'on the fence' on whether to attend this event on April 7th or not:

“One of the most fiery young saxophonists around blazes a path through the hard bop repertoire" (The Times) ★★★★

“A tremendous asset to the UK Jazz Scene" (London Jazz News)

…"A bright newcomer on alto and tenor saxist Vasilis Xenopoulos"… (Evening Standard) ★★★★★

"Old-school warmth and modern day dynamism" JAZZWISE

“When the players are, Xenopoulos and Nigel Price…..the outcome is downright irresistible..(Guardian)★★★★

“Dashing Greek tenorist…real passion…full-blooded, hard-swinging solos” (Evening Standard)

The music definitely speaks for itself though and Vasilis's musicianship and technical proficiency are clearly evident in the video above. He will be supported on the night by a quartet of jazz musicians who are some of the best that South East has to offer:

Mark Nightingale - Trombone
Paul Edis - Piano
Matyas Hofecker - Double bass
Steve Brown - Drums
