By Sakis Papadimitriou

Pianist, radio producer, promoter and journalist, Sakis Papadimitriou has been the moving force behind Greece’s relatively modest jazz scene for the past five decades –his is a life in jazz, indeed.

His enthusiastic radio shows and insightful features for “JAZZ” magazine immensely helped in building an informed audience for the jazz music he so humbly serves. His discography of saxophone, clarinet and piano duos along with fellow virtuoso Floros Floridis, as well as his solo piano works are widely regarded as standards in the greek jazz discography.

With live music accompaniment to silent films being another important aspect of his career, (an idea implemented more than 20 years ago with Friedrich Murnau’s timeless classic “Nosferatu”), Sakis Papadimitriou has more than one side to show in this musical retrospective that will explore his jazz heritage from 1962 right until today. A selection of compositions, songs and musical ideas of the sixties, seventies up today. Music from theatre plays and silent movies as well as a circle of poetry and music (Sappho, Bertolt Brecht, Samuel Beckett, Boris Vian, Guillevic, Vittorino Curci, Georgia Sylleou, Sakis Papadimitriou).

Georgia Sylleou - Voice
Christos Yermenoglou - Drums and percussion
Petros Damianidis - Double bass
Xenophon Avramoglou - Saxes and bass clarinet
Dimitris Tselios - Saxes and oboe
Sakis Papadimitriou - Piano
