"K on Top", his new album, is a statement of what musicians can do when they love playing music. The music is played with no blinders on and it explodes every time the improvisations and interactions are brought to a boiling point. Lyrical melodies and sharp harmonic paths deliver different feelings to the audience in every concert.

Line up:

Alekos Vretos - oud
Leonidas Sarantopoulos - flute
