Lefteris Kordis Trio

Lefteris Kordis: piano
Brad Barrett: acoustic bass
Dor Herskovits: drums

Masterful and deeply expressive, Lefteris Kordis brings his trio to the Piano Craft Gallery stage tonight, presenting Mediterranean jazz originals from his critically acclaimed album Aquarelles (Inner Circle Music, 2024). 

In “Aquarelles: Celebrating the Inner Child” (released in March, 2024 on Greg Osby’s Inner Circle Music), the pianist and composer Lefteris Kordis presents a double album full of captivating and beautiful Mediterranean-inflected jazz compositions. 

The 12 ‘Aquarelles’ (‘watercolors’) - are conscientious sound paintings, adroit & engaging reflections on a series of memories, mentors and heroes both personal (a story of family migration, an early seminal piano teacher, etc.) and public (the great Greek filmmaker Theo Angelopoulos, and the politically courageous internationally renowned composer Mikis Theodorakis, and with whom Kordis performed as a precocious 18-year-old).
