The charismatic double bassist and arranger Nikos Chatzitsakos, in collaboration with distinguished soloists and musicians of the Greek jazz scene, presents his new arrangements of popular compositions included in the two albums Tiny Big Band, this time for quintet. The sensitivity and flexibility of a smaller ensemble showcases the solo lines and uniqueness of the voices, without falling short of the numerically stronger big band in energy and dynamism. Nikos Chatzitsakos masterfully bridges the African-American jazz tradition and its classical repertoire with modern aesthetic approaches and soundscapes. The particularly rich program includes arrangements of well-known songs by such composers as Charlie Chaplin, Cole Porter, Antonio Carlos Zobim and Michel Legrand, taking the listener on a journey through powerful melodies, rich harmonies, bold solos and rhythms.
