English

Listen to the recorded concert as part of the Jazz Chronicles series here.

The recording will remain available on the SNFCC website.

In September 2018, Jazz Chronicles – SNFCC’s concert series – welcomed a music trio led by the acclaimed Greek jazz pianist George Kontrafouris, whose group, Baby Trio, has been testament to the value of artistic renewal and youthful creativity.

Formed in 2008 to capture the pure energy and youthful enthusiasm of young musicians starting out in a band, as well to serve as a school for young musicians, Baby Trio has gone through many incarnations.

When they turn 25, Baby Trio members give their places to new ones. In the trio edition at SNFCC, Kontrafouris played Hammond organ, accompanied by a young guitarist and a young drummer. In 2018, Baby Trio celebrated its tenth anniversary by giving a concert at SNFCC and releasing an album on vinyl and CD in late 2018. This concert featured Baby Trio’s members, as well as many of the group’s former members:
