Tasso Spiliotopoulos - Archipelagos

Latest release by the adventurous Greek guitarist, showcasing his unique compositional style and fluid guitar work. The album features special guests Kenny Wheeler and John Parricelli.'Archipelagos' is the second release by guitarist/composer Tassos Spiliotopoulos, following the 2006 release of 'Wait for Dusk' (KCD5166).Opting for a more intimate Trio format of Yaron Stavi (Bass) and Asaf Sirkis (Drums), Tassos Spiliotopoulos continues to develop his compositional approach which blends contemporary Jazz with modern classical, folk and even rock fusion. The album's eight tracks offer a guitar oriented, European sound that is both intricate and powerful but at times becomes reflective and mesmerizing.The Trio interprets with a range of colours, from energetic to almost brittle and strong band interplay is always at the core of their sound. The album also features two very special guests, Kenny Wheeler (Trumpet) and John Parricelli (Guitar). The two contemporary masters who need no introductions have been a great inspiration and influence for Spiliotopoulos, who has tailored their featuring compositions around them.
