Born on 30/6/1973, i live in Athens Greece. Studied classical piano until the age of 19, then from `92 to `96 attended Berklee College of Music, from which i graduated with a diploma in commercial arranging. For 5 years i taught music theory, harmony, jazz piano and ensembles at "Filipos Nakas Conservatory" to native students and exchange Berklee students attending one of their semesters in Greece. If you feel so inclined to help out while I'm unable to gig or tour, or want to help me maintain and upgrade my gear so i can create and upload new videos every week my virtual tip jar is open :) Paypal : paypal.me/apapastamatakis
I just discovered this group tonight. I do NOT like jazz, but I can certainly learn. I've been trying to describe his drumming. I finally got it - this is how the drums are SUPPOSED to be played. I throw that up against any drummer. No gimmicks - just so satisfying!
Yikes! I wanted to get a little sample of an idea of how to solo off SUNNY and I bit off more than I can chew with Vasilis on Tenor... I guess I'll just do a slower version! dayum! bravo!
