Petros Klampanis (페트로 클램파니스)

‘A dazzling, multifaceted thing of beauty.’

JazzTimes, Ken Micallef (USA)

 

‘He deftly accomplishes a synthesis of disparate 

elements into a brilliantly organic whole.’

New York City Jazz Records, Donald Elfman (USA)

 

‘It is, full stop, a terrific album that impresses on many counts, for the quality of its compositions, the vitality of its performances and the chemistry of the musicians’

textura.org (USA)

 

‘Dreams captured on instruments’

jazzweekly.com, George W. Harris (USA)

 

‘Klampanis orchestrates everything meticulously and his boundless musicality flows with integrity, sensitivity, and self-control’   

jazztrail.com (USA)

 

‘Klampanis envisions a colourful, unreal, urban cosmos…’

JazzThing, Ssirus Pakzad (Germany)

 

‘A modern-day, bass virtuoso!’

NoTreble.com (USA/Canada)

 

‘What comes as a beautiful surprise is the diversified approach he utilises in his compositions and performance’

AllAboutJazz.com (USA)

 

‘Klampanis has long since freed himself from the role of the mere accompanist, pushing the music forward with the bass and shaping it harmoniously and melodically. His fat, earthy and round bass tone helps him to do this’

JAZZTHETIK, Andreas Ebert (Germany)

 

'Klampanis uses the material on Irrationalities as a prism to center on what it means to be a global citizen, including the differences and similarities of living in two cultures, which can at times feel like both a struggle and harmonic.’

Audiophile Audition (USA)

 

‘They create a totally new landscape, full of lyricism, romanticism and deep resonance, mixing jazz, pop, Mediterranean and Balkan music traditions. Incredibly beautiful!’

JazzLife, Kazune Hayata (Japan)

 

‘He didn't need the strings this time. A good trio is worth gold.’

Jazzradar (Netherlands)

 

‘An album that makes you look forward to what will happen live with this material.’

Jazz’halo  (Belgium)

 

‘The bassist and composer has perfectly mastered listening to his predecessors’

La Voix du Nord (France)

 

Contrebassiste sans frontières

TSF Jazz (France)

 

His work for the trio is engaging, dynamic, rhythmically interesting and magically imaginative.’
