Their idea was to present for the first time in Greece, the Hammond organ trio Soul-Jazz sound, something that was helped by the comeback of the mighty, legentary Hammond B3 organ during the 2000’s.
Their repertoir includes Jazz ,Soul,Funk & Blues standards and themes from the huge tank of the 50’s , 60’s and 70’s era, combined with their own compositions.
Yiannis Monos appears as a Hammond organist as early as 1985, founding or co-founding several Blues-Soul bands such as JUGBAND BLUES, LOT, SAX-S, BLUES FAMILY, SCHOOLBUS and THE BLUES BUG.
He appeared in concerts next to : MICK TAYLOR (ex Rolling Stones, John Mayall Bluesbrakers), GUITAR SHORTY( Brother in law of Jimmy Hendrix), SIDNEY (Guitar Crusher) SELBY, LOUISIANNA RED,MALIK YAKUB (Mack Spears) and he opened for JOHN HAMMOND JUNIOR, EDDY.C.CAMPBELL, LUTHER ALLISON and others.
