Greek oudist, pianist and composer Alekos Vretos has been merging jazz, Arabic, Greek and Latin music in a masterful blend of sounds from traditional instruments, such as the oud or the nay, vs. modern ones. As a band leader, Alekos has developed a unique atmosphere for his music: keeping traditional sound in the front line he expands it through jazz improvisation and exploding rhythmic development.
