Lefteris Kordis
Born:
Pianist, composer and Inner Circle Music recording artist, Lefteris Kordis, has established himself as a unique voice in the Mediterranean Jazz genre. He grew up in Elefsis, an ancient and multicultural town near Athens, Greece. Since age four, he studied, performed, and composed based on a wide spectrum of genres including Greek Folk, European Chamber, and Jazz.
Kordis started on piano at age 4, ingesting broad swaths of the classical tradition and soon-thereafter, jazz. Before he turned 18, he had performed with legendary Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis. That was an excellent start to a career that’s seen him supporting many maestros in Jazz (Steve Lacy, Sheila Jordan, Jerry Bergonzi, George Garzone, Joe Lovano, Greg Osby, Robin Eubanks), and Greek Folk (Panayotis Lalezas, Glykeria, Vasilis Saleas), at festivals and major venues (Carnegie Hall, Panama JF, Toronto JF, Athens Epidaurus Festival), worldwide.

by Alberto Bazzurro
Ryan Keberle, trentasettenne trombonista dell'Indiana, e Frank Woeste, quarantaduenne pianista di Hannover, il primo con alle spalle rendez-vous piuttosto variopinti (da David Bowie a Maria Schneider, da Wynton Marsalis a Woody Allen), il secondo ormai da una ventina d'anni inserito nel milieu jazzistico francese, si abbinano a una coppia di musicisti che sembrano in qualche modo ...
