Vassilis Lagos - Cantatas For A Demon

by Lagos Quintet

supported by
LAWN OF THE DEAD
LAWN OF THE DEAD thumbnail
LAWN OF THE DEAD A fantastic and understated fusion of myriad styles into a jazz framework. Both smooth and unsettling, poetic and jarring, it deftly drifts from one place to another and back.
The production is delightful as well, and allows the odd ingredients to settle and blend into their own natural concoction. Favorite track: Cantata For A Demon.

about

Vasilis Lagos and Dora Vlassi met Giorgos Daglas’ poetry, in March of 2015, at a bookstore where, the later, presented his poetry collection “Ballads for a demon”.Dora Vlassi adapted the poems' rimes so they could fit better in music and Vasilis, who had already a long experience in composing music, but not in setting poetry into music, except for jazz music and English language lyrics, tries for the first time to compose music for greek language verse, and mainly, for an extremely rebellious poetry, with an explosive content which tries to point out rotten political and social norms and manages at the same time, to destroy them. Vasilis Lagos, wanted to point out with his music exactly that particular element of Daglas’poetry. And by proposing his musical pieces of a particular combination of several different genres, he attempts to create an exquisite ecstatic and aesthetical result. That is how this record “Cantatas for a demon” came up. The quintet that has been formed for the needs of this work, with Yiannis Papadoulis drums, Dora Vlassi vocals, Alexis Delis double bass, and Spyros Nikas in saxophone. Many thanks to Akanthos for his artistic work resulting in the immaculate visual taste of the album.
