Greek Jazz Panorama - New Generation /2 - 11-13 June 2015 - at 21:00 on the roof of Onassis Cultural Centre 107-109 Syngrou Avenue - Athens — 210 9005800 - www.sgt.gr - For three summer nights, six groups representing the up-and-coming Greek jazz generation will be in concert on the Onassis Cultural Centre roof terrace. The Greek jazz scene has finally found a permanent home at the... OCC.

The upcoming generation of Greek jazz musicians isn’t coming to lay claim to a place on the Greek jazz scene; it’s already an integral part of it. Dynamic, daring, imaginative, graced with virtuosity and a remarkable ability to synthesize, the ’20-to-30-something’ generation casts off its inwardness, embarks on a courageous exploration of roads less travelled, and offers us fascinating recordings and concerts which confirm its dynamism.

Above all else, these up-and-coming musicians engage with contemporary trends on the international jazz scene with enviable ease, and are laying the foundations for a remarkable future. The new generation is just as comfortable playing alongside established virtuosos of previous generations as with their contemporaries from abroad, travelling to the four corners of the world to perform, enhancing its already impressive profile and sending our expectations and our adrenalin soaring in the process!

The new generation of the Greek jazz scene is already very good and very genuine. And we will be here, on the OCC roof terrace, June 11-13, to hear six superb combos play us the future, right here and right now!
