Their new album, “Everything In Between,” features nine tracks—mostly original compositions by Symeonidis, shaped 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 blends 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, allowing each piece room to breathe and unfold. It is jazz at its core, yet open and accessible—inviting listeners from the jazz world and beyond.
