Mihalis Kalkanis Group
featuring Haig Yazdjian and Jannis Anastasakis
Bassist Mihalis Kalkanis stands out among the new generation of Greek jazz musicians. As well as participating in acclaimed bands, Kalkanis, who comes from a music family, is a risk-taking creative artist and composer, successfully experimenting with music and delivering us surprising compositions. Kalkanis fuses electronic music with traditional songs of his grandmother’s generation, doing field recordings in religious ceremonies of immigrants, and delivering a fusion of sounds in his album World Echoes in Athens.
In this concert at the Little Theatre of Ancient Epidaurus, Kalkanis once again attempts to do something unique. Collaborating with the Syria-born, Armenian oud virtuoso Haig Yazdjian and the avant-garde master of electric guitar Jannis Anastasakis, Kalkanis has created a soundscape where jazz, ambient, traditional, world music, psychedelia, noise, melodies and electronica are woven together to give birth to an altogether fresh and original sound.
