“Saxophonist-vocalist Dimitri Vassilakis is a dynamic live performer...uses the warmth of his Greek spirit to inform a command of the jazz language...with a series of great Candid recordings to his name...his highflying style full of impassioned lines and impeccable technique, fires his exciting new album.” London Jazz Festival
