Thodoris Kotsyfas, Yannis Papadopoulos, Dinos Manos and Vassilis Podaras started the Next Step Quintet jazz group when they were still students of the Music Department at Ionian University, after realizing they shared a common vision about music. In 2011, the four joined forces with Greek-Swede saxophonist, Orpheus Tsoukalas. After a year of frenzied creativity, they released their first album with the Puzzlemusik record company. Their second album, 2, was released with the contribution of guests Tivon Pennicott and Takis Paterelis. Currently, they are working on to their next project: jazz adaptations of songs by Radiohead.
