Yiannis Kassetas – The Armenian
Friday 31 January 2025: Composer and saxophonist Yannis Kassetas releases in digital
format (download & streaming) the single "The Armenian". The single is a preview of his
new album titled "Far" which will be released by Puzzlemusik on February 21. The single is
accompanied by a teaser video.
The Armenian offers a first taste of “Far”, the sixth album by Yiannis Kassetas, coming two
years after the artistically and commercially successful “Lucid Dream”. "The Armenian" is a
composition of international standards with a distinctly oriental flavor, yet infused with
contemporary New York jazz style. Still, the personal touch of the composer / arranger is
evident. Over the years Yiannis has evolved to perhaps the most important jazz composer of
his generation.
The cover of this digital single was specifically designed for the occasion by Katerina
Kamberi, while on the track – as well as in the album that will follow – the featuring
musicians are:
Costis Christodoulou: Piano, Dimitris Papadopoulos: Trumpet, Grigoris Theodoridis: Bass,
Dimitris Klonis: drums and Yiannis Kassetas himself in tenor and baritone saxophone (as well
as in compositions/arrangemnts).
Recorded, Mixed and Mastered at Artracks studios, Athens, Greece by George Priniotakis
