Vasilis Xenopoulos and Paul Edis began playing together 20 years ago, when they had both relocated to West London to study.

Originally from Greece, Vasilis had just finished studying at Berklee College in the US, whilst Paul had moved South from the North East. In the intervening years they’ve played numerous gigs together, releasing their first album in 2016, entitled A Narrow Escape to critical acclaim.

Their latest recording features original music inspired by the many places they’ve called home over the years. Released in April 2024 on the Ubuntu label, Feels Like Home has already received glowing reviews from around the world, and the band has toured the UK with more dates planned for 2025.

For this performance, Vasilis and Paul will be joined by Paul Susans (double bass) and Russ Morgan (drums).

“The quartet’s compatibly and their ease in performance is a delight."

Jazzwise

“Xenopoulos blows with a rich tone and Paul Edis shows himself to be a restrained, yet swinging pianist.”

Jazz Flits

“The versatile pianist Paul Edis matches [Vasilis] in both virtuosity and creativity.”

Jazz’n’More magazine

“Faithfully evokes the famous era of jazz.”
