Takis Paterelis-New friends Quartet

Takis Paterelis-New Friends Quartet is a jazz concert at Poetry Bar in Exarchia, Athens, on 17 April 2026. Paterelis studied saxophone and composition at Berklee College of Music in the early 1990s and has spent three decades on the Athens jazz circuit, collaborating with artists including John Hicks and Hamid Drake.

If you want a concert-hall production, this is not that night. If you want jazz at close range from a Berklee-trained saxophonist leading a freshly assembled quartet, sit down.

Poetry Bar is at Soultani 4, a short walk from Omonia metro. Paterelis has been playing since the 1980s — the new friends have not.
