Dimitris Tsakas

A multifaced musician, a unique and excellent alto saxophone player, and a talented guitarist, Dimitris Tsakas enjoys recognition within and outside the world of jazz. He has released two personal albums (Growing Up and A Man Dreams) whereas his third (Back of Beyond) is about to come out soon. All of them feature his own compositions which assign him a prominent position in our home jazz scene. He has also worked on a few special jazz projects, e.g. the presentation of Charlie Parker’s music in two special concerts, including the events held under the “Jazz in the Museum” initiative where he served as creative director. In the non-jazz field he has collaborated with acclaimed Greek artists including Vangelis, Eleftheria Arvanitaki, Haris Alexiou, etc.
