Guitarist and composer Stefanos Andreadis has collaborated with many important musicians in concerts, international Jazz festivals and recordings for radio and television. With brilliant studies in Greece and the United Kingdom, with a Ph.D. in composition, he is since 2007 a member of the teaching Jazz Music Department of the Ionian University. In May 2010, he recorded with Dimos Dimitriadis, George Kontrafouris and Alexandros Drakos Ktistakis, his first personal album which includes 8 songs of his composition. Flying Jazz is a modern jazz quartet built around the electronic sound of Hammond Organ (the album realized in September 2013. In December 2015, Stefanos recorded the second ‘Flying Jazz’ Album (To Eternity)... published in April 2017) with the same group and the contribution of the trumpet player Andreas Polizogopoulos.
In 2017 the Flying Jazz group became a trio: George Kontrafouris always on Hammond Organ and Vasilis Podaras (Billy Pod) on drums. The last two years the trio has been performed from small jazz clubs to international jazz festival. Flying Jazz trio recorded a new alboum in 2019, Flying Jazz Trio-Nostalgia (7 original compositions by Stefanos) realized by L39.
Dimos Dimitriadis about Stefanos Andreadis Flying Jazz music:
“Stefanos can put together the group that sounds perfect for his music and his music is just right for the group: evocative, subtle, challenging, rhythms with character, melodies with simple but welcome twists. And above all there is the distinct scent of a Mediterranean landscape that permeates every turn of the music. Hopefully you will be able to share that by just listening.”
