Confusion

Layout Provided By FreeCodeSource.com - Myspace LayoutsConfusion started in 1998 by Achilleas Diamantis after graduating from MUSICIANS INSTITUTE in California USA, being taught by Scott Henderson, Joe Diorio, Don Mock and Sid Jacobs.He was given a taste of Jazz and Fusion and he realized this was the start of his life.Once on the return to his home country Greece, Achilleas was given the amazing chance to work with one of his favourite Greek Jazz pianists Mr Marcos Alexiou who gave Achilleas the opportunity to include two of his own compositions in this album "Flying to the unknown"(Blue Mirror and Danger Zone). By Achilleas terms "I was thrown into deep waters".That was the beginning of the journey he was about to embark on and from then on he looked for musicians that would have the passion to do something and make a difference.The difference in the musical mind of Achilleas was to incorporate different elements (such as Jazz, Rock, Blues, Funk, Acid and Latin) yet building it all into one main theme. He found session musicians that liked his music and with several special guest appearances (Makis Boukalis, Nikos Vardis on bass, Seraphim Bellos on drums, Alekos Orfanos, Stratos Diamantis on Keyboards and Takis Paterelis on sax), he completed his first album in 1999 and named it "Confusion by Confusion"."Surprising mixture of the obvious Hellenic influences and some highly innovative soloing" John Mclaughlin Archives."The debut CD that launched the Greek fusion phenomenon, these guys are tight" Tom Voli - Gnarly Geezer Records. "Well performed, clearly and well produced jazz-rock. The beautiful thing about the nine compositions is that Diamantis hasn't pint himself down on one style" Reni Yedema - Io pages Progressive rock magazine.After the album was released Achilleas started to search for the musicians that would also have the same passion, determination, and the ability to produce their own unique sound. One night at a jam session in Athens he played with Takis Intas on Drums and they jammed together an extensive duet improvisation without even knowing each other and at this moment Achilleas saw in Takis what he had been looking for. A musician that had an aggressive side combined with a real sensitive play for his music. He lived to play the drums. Within a few days Takis was part of Confusion.Takis knew what Achilleas was looking for in a musician so quickly introduced Panagiotis Haramis who had been a great session bass player.After a few months they were playing at all the jazz clubs in Athens quickly followed by a tour in Greece. Confusion was now complete as a band.Their new album "Genesis" released in 2001,as the title suggests is the birth of the band. Self-producing 10 songs that switch easily from hard Fusion-Rock to fast swing and then moving to slow melodic ballads."The cd contains 10 amazing compositions that display complete originality and growth as a unit" Gnarly Geezer Records.In 2003 they released the cd "Enter AloneIn 2004 Achilleas moved in Los Angeles California to play and promote his music with Chris Stefanetti: Bass.In 2006 CONFUSION are back in Greece working in new material.The new CD is READY!!!!!!!!!
