Grace Kelly, Live at Scullers

“It’s a blessing from the gods, this kind of talent, and when we see it in someone young, we marvel at the contrast…” – Todd Leopold, CNN

::: Stream Tracks From Live at Scullers :::

There are snapshots in the family photo album of Grace Kelly at Scullers Jazz Club at the age of six, falling asleep in her father’s arms. When she began studying saxophone at the tender age of ten, she dreamed of one day performing on that very same stage. In those childhood visions, it was a much older Grace Kelly that she envisioned on the bandstand, but she made her Scullers debut at thirteen and held a CD release concert there the following year.

Magnanimus Trio, STILL TIME

Magnanimus Trio -][- STILL TIME –Mp3– [Nomeolvides. Co, 2012]

Magnanimus Trio is formed by three friends, Christos Barbas (piano, kaval, voice), Dimitris Tasoudis (drums, piano, voice) and Pavlos Spyropoulos (contrabass, voice) on September 2010. They met back in the 90s when they where co-students in the Music Studies Department in the Aristotle University of their city, Thessaloniki/Greece. Each of them has followed his own road, mixing musicalities and jobs both interesting and diverse.
