Christos Rafalides - Near & Dear - Album CD Digipack

“The songs in this album are near and dear to me, representing my
induction to the world of American music, the world of jazz. The
vibraphone trio has a unique sound, not as widely heard as piano
or guitar trios. In this recording I am presenting arrangements of
some classic compositions from the Great American Songbook
along with two original tunes. The process of doing so has been
challenging, yet very rewarding and this is the result of a harmoni-
ous partnership with three exceptional musicians: Mike Pope (US)
on bass and top notch sound engineer, Mauricio Zottarelli (Brazil)
on drums, and Petros Klampanis (Greece) on bass. Our artistic paths crossed in New York, the jazz capital, and it was here that we got our sound together”.
