Mihalis Kalkanis Group – Emotions (LP, Hellenic Jazz Society)

Across eight tracks that combine music from acoustic instruments with electronic and processed sounds, one of Athens most prolific jazz figures, Mihalis Kalkanis, sketches a new European sound with melodic motifs that sometimes touch the West and others leave a Greek and Balkan scent. The resulting album Emotions was recorded live at the Megaron Music Hall and it is the first recorded documentation of Mihalis Kalkanis Group. Emotions is a landmark of the three year journey of the group, a deep and sentimental musical path full of emotions, images and colors. Mihalis Kalkanis Group has been praised for its special performances in some of the most eclectic festivals in Greece such as Athens Jazz Festival, Summer Nostos Festival SNFCC & Athens Epidaurus Festival.
