Tassos Spiliotopoulos

Born: June 10, 1978

Greek guitarist and composer Tassos Spiliotopoulos is known for combining lyrical compositions with melodic, high energy improvising into a style that is rooted in Jazz tradition but often expands beyond it.

The progressive website Jazz-rock.com (US) labeled Tassos ‘..simply a master improviser with his own unique chording and melodic phrasing.’
