Jako Quartet

In the organizer's words:

Iakovos ' Jako ' Symeonidis - guitar, compositions
Thomas Hahn - tenor saxophone
Joel Murtaugh - electric bass
Henry Hahnfeldt - drums

The Jako Quartet is the new project of Berlin-based Greek guitarist Iakovos "Jako" Symeonidis. Building on his debut album "Safe Place", the group focuses on original music that combines jazz, soul and funk.
Their new album, "Everything In Between", comprises nine tracks - mostly original compositions by Symeonidis, influenced by his experiences as a Greek immigrant abroad. In addition to the new compositions, the quartet's repertoire includes pieces from the jazz tradition as well as Symeonidis' own arrangements of classic funk and soul songs.
Their sound combines swing, afro and funk grooves with improvisation and spontaneity.
At its core, "Everything In Between" is about living in the moment. The music thrives on spontaneity and interaction and gives each piece room to breathe and unfold. It is jazz at its core, but open and accessible - and invites listeners from the jazz world and beyond.
