Sokratis Sinopoulos, Yann Keerim - Vlachia (Official Video / Topos)

The new album by Sokratis Sinopoulos and Yann Keerim, "Topos", is available on CD and digital. Pre-order it here: https://ecm.lnk.to/ToposID The Greek duo of lyra player Sokratis Sinopoulos and pianist Yann Keerim’s first studio statement is a deep well of inspired musical dialogues that cross the idiomatic space between European folk tradition and chamber-jazz seamlessly. Bartók’s six “Romanian Folk Dances” appear in newly shaped guises throughout the album, with Sokratis’s painterly lyra playing setting a lyrical counterpoint against Yann’s in turns rhythmically propulsive and quietly thoughtful accompaniment. Recorded in Athens, in February 2024, the album was produced by Manfred Eicher.
