ANDREAS POLYZOGOPOULOS 4ET

Περιγραφή στα Αγγλικά

Andreas Polyzogopoulos is changing formations. His 2023 album Petrichor was a drumless trio; the quartet taking Half Note on 22 April at 21:30 adds Panagiotis Kostopoulos on drums to a new lineup also featuring Giannis Papadopoulos on piano and keyboards and Giorgos Konstantinou on electric bass. The set mixes reworked Petrichor-cycle material with newly recorded compositions due out in autumn — Polyzogopoulos's first studio work since the trio record.

The sound leans into effects-treated horn, grooves drawn from drum'n'bass and hip-hop, and rhythmic patterns with North African edges, all filtered through the Miles Davis electric period and the European trumpet lyricism of Nils Petter Molvær and Erik Truffaz.

Half Note sits at Trivonianou 17 in Mets, a ten-minute uphill walk from Akropoli station, about 200 seats across tables and bar. Reservations are essential — tables seat four and partial bookings get shared with other guests; arrive twenty minutes before the set or forfeit the seat fifteen minutes after start.

If you want acoustic straight-ahead jazz, this band is wired and textural. But if you want to hear what a drumless trio sounds like with a drummer added, this is the audition.
