«When you experience him for the first time in concert, you can hardly believe what range of emotions he is able to elicit from his lyre.» (jazzecho.de) Sokratis Sinopoulos took the antique instrument out of the context of traditional music and aroused the in-terest of contemporary oriented artist colleagues. «I play an instrument that is associat-ed with a certain tradition», says Sinopoulos. «It’s almost as if you had a time machine that could transport you back to the Middle Ages or send you on a journey through the history of Greece, the Balkans, or many other countries.» Sokratis Sinopoulos is gently supported by the pianist Yann Keerim, bassist Dimitris Tsekouras, and drummer Dimi-tris Emanouil.
WITH Sokratis Sinopoulos (lyre), Yann Keerim (piano), Dimitris Tsekouras (bass) and Boris Schmidt/ Dimitris Emanouil (drums, 25./26.11.)
