As leader
Leonidas Sarantopoulos Quartet (2017)
Jazz flutist and composer Leonidas Sarantopoulos from Athens, Greece, presents his new powerful quartet, featuring three of the most in-demand musicians of the Greek jazz scene. Nine flowing compositions with spontaneous expressions, varying from peaceful melodies to elated grooves.
When the echo of the waves blends with the peaceful melodies of the fluid flute’s sounds, the spiritual son of Oceanis and Styx is born. It’s name is Paflax. An abstract mythology leads the quartet to create its myths from scratch, based in music themes which reminds us of a world where equilibrium reigns.
