Dimitris Angelakis Jazz Trio

The Dimitris Agelakis Jazz Trio was formed in February 2014 in Athens. Since then they have appeared in various venues in Greece. The main feature of the scheme is that the sound is based on the vibraphone, an instrument not so common but rich timbres. The idea of the shceme emerged from the vibraphonist Dimitris Agelaki after completing his studies in America, where along with Dimitris Klonis on drums and Periklis Trivolis on double bass, the need of a scheme based in Greece was created, in order for the musicians to join a common musical vision, which is jazz music.
