(Fusion) Lefteris Christofis - Nous Icons - 2005, FLAC (image+.cue), lossless

A consonant jazz fusion delight with mediterenean scents that gives life to an imaginary musical result from a remarkable band which surprises and carries away its audience.
The Greek lyrical guitarist Lefteris Christofis is the kind of an artist who through his music transfers internal images, visions and scenes from the realm of reality and fantasy.
In his new CD “NOUS ICONS” released worldwidely by BLUE NOTE RECORDS he creates well – built melodic compositions with unusual rhythmical moods and a diversity of the colours of sound.
Modal melodies, calidoscopic harmonies, lyrical vocals are supported by groovy rhythms in order to create the spirit of improvisation that gives space to the musicians for an impressive performing status.

The guitarist Lefteris Christofis born on October 5, 1964 in Athens and by the age of six started playing the guitar and since he was fourteen years old, he formed several rock groups as band leader. He completed his studies in music at the Music Department of the Anglia Polytechnic/University in Cambridge, he collaborated with top rate British musicians giving concerts and he released his first personal album “KALESMA – Lefteris Christofis with British Friends" in 1996. His career has been published in the International Who’s Who in Music and his music has been identified as “... a new sound beyond the age of jazz and fusion ... transfers you to the imaginative world of ‘cosmic’ jazz". Since 1996 he lives in Athens, he releases his second personal album MYTHOPLASIA and he presents his music in jazz festivals and concerts. He also teaches music at the Art Music School (www.fakanas.gr) and as artistic director he has formed and organised the educational programme of the Athens Music Hall “Centre of Ensembles and Improvisation”. In his latest project he has collaborated with “the seven time Grammy Award winner" American drummer Paul Wertico and they have recorded and produced together his third personal album “NOUS ICONS“ which was released worldwidely by BLUE NOTE RECORDS (EMI) in 2005.
