Aposperia Jazz Trio – Contemporary Jazz in the Village of Peace

Fresh Grooves, Modern Interplay & Acoustic Fire in Candlelit Stone

Feel the heartbeat of contemporary jazz as the Aposperia Jazz Trio takes the stage in the candlelit intimacy of Vlatos Music Hall—the historic 150-year-old stone church in the serene mountain village of Vlatos, western Crete.This dynamic trio places the classic piano trio instrumentation front and center, letting drums, bass, guitar (Kostas Kotsonis)and piano converse with fresh urgency and deep interplay. The drums (Yiannis Paterakis)drive with subtle swing, crisp brushes, and explosive bursts of color—providing elastic grooves that breathe and push forward without overpowering. The bass (Lefteris Papadakis) anchors everything with warm, singing lines, walking rhythms, and harmonic depth that give the music its unmistakable forward motion and emotional weight. At the heart sits the piano, weaving lyrical melodies, rich chord voicings, and daring improvisations that dance between post-bop clarity and modern freedom.Together they create a sound that is at once grounded and airborne: tight pocket grooves that invite you to move, spacious harmonic landscapes that invite reflection, and moments of collective improvisation where the three instruments truly speak as one.
