“Crete’s own electric bass icon, Lefteris Papadakis, is teaming up with the powerhouse talents of Clio Williemou and Andreas Partsiklidis to unleash the 3 Keys Trio – and they’re making their big debut at Vlatos Jazz Summer 2025! Picture this: Papadakis laying down those deep, funky grooves he’s famous for, paired with Williemou’s soulful flair and Partsiklidis’ razor-sharp chops. Together, they’re cooking up timeless jazz magic that’ll hit you right in the feels. Set against the ancient, candlelit vibes of the Vlatos Jazz Venue, this is more than a concert – it’s a journey into sound that’s gonna be absolutely unreal!”
And a bit more about Lefteris Papadakis: Hailing from Chania, Crete, he’s a bass virtuoso who started on keyboards before switching to electric bass at 17. His journey took him from Athens’ jazz scene to studying at Berklee College of Music and the Conservatoire de Lausanne HEMU. With gigs at Montreux, Umbria, and Cully Jazz Festivals under his belt, plus collabs with legends like Jay Graydon and Jimmy Haslip, Papadakis brings a world-class edge to this trio. The 3 Keys Trio promises a fresh yet classic jazz vibe, rooted in Crete’s spirit and amplified by global flair!
The cultural society of Vlatos presents throughout the year a variety of events. Tickets for the events are available online with PayPal or for cold hard cash at the venue on the night of your choosing.
