About Me

Bob Quartet Exist Since 2006 And Since Then They Have Been Performing In Various jazz Clubs In Athens.
When Antonhs Prifths, Guitarist, Arranger And Bandleader Decided To Set Up A Band Had In His Mind Only One Thing: To Play Jazz. So He And Lyre Player Lefterhs (Sothrhs) Andrioths Begun To Play Standard Tunes. The Addition Of Leferis (Sothrhs) Gave A Strange Color To The Sound Of The Group, Since He Was Studing And Playing For Some Years Not Only Jazz But Also Greek (Cretan Traditional) Music. The Sound Of His Instrument Is Something That Bears Great Resemblance To The Violin But Also Has Some Different Qualities.
The Next Thing Was To Find The Rest Of A Rhythm Section, A Drummer And A Bassist. So They Proposed Fellow And Co-Student Drummer, Dimitri Emmanouil To Join, Who Up To That Date Had Never In His Life Played Jazz Before, And His Only Influences Came From Traditional Greek And Turkish Music. Finaly Bassist Alexander Trampas Was To Join The Group And Add The Final Ingredient To The Ensemble's Sound Since He Is Deeply Influenced By Electronic, Rock And Funk Music.
Currently All Four Of Them Are Studying And Performing With One And Only Goal: To Play Music According To What They Feel!Currently Sothrhs And Antonhs Are In The Greek Army And Alexander Is Studying At Berklee College Of Music In Boston MA, While Antonhs Has Already Been Accepted To Study Guitar In The New School Of Music NY.
