The BandA ecLectics were put together on January 2007 by pianist-composer Petros Sakelliou.
The group is comprised of a selection of professional musicians with diverse affiliations ranging from jazz to the folk music of Greece, Latin America and Spain, to classical music as well as improvisation.
The band recorded a 7 track album on May 31st 2007, named "Angeles Los Boston". The cd got released in June 2007.
Shortly after the cd release, one of the tracks, namely “Swingalong”, was announced winner of
the 2007 THELONIOUS MONK INSTITUTE jazz composition competition.
The band flew to Los Angeles (October, 2007) and performed the winning composition at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, as part of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz event, 2007 trumpet competition and tribute to Herbie Hancock. The event’s attendance was approximately 3,600 people.
The group is currently booking the upcoming season, while preparing to record a new album.
A piano, 4 chairs.
For large venues we'll require a PA system and 5-15 microphones, depending on the space.
For small venues we would play acoustically with our own equipment.
来年の夏にツアーを企画中かも？？？
お楽しみに。
