about

All eight pieces of this album fluidly shift between moods, textures and tempos, revealing high levels of musicianship and chemistry.

“THE SEED” consists of eight compositions with obvious modern jazz references, as well as influences from classical and post rock. The cinematic introduction of the opening track “Crossing Lines”, immediately engulfs the audience into the atmosphere of the album.

The compositions create continuous exchanges of emotions and images, retaining an undiminished anticipation from the first note to the last. Each piece has a tendency to refer to a different musical genre. “Fax From Fux” contains baroque elements, “Poisonous Little Flower” moves with an impressionistic mood but all compositions maintain an amalgamated character, due to the common jazz background of the four musicians.

The quartet explores the amazingly broad varieties of timbres and dynamics of the instruments and manages to maintain a sonic diversity with an aesthetically contemporary approach, through the whimsical arrangements.


"The pleasure is simple, direct and completely jazz; it is very well played, and it swings just enough to keep the balance between body and mind. [...] 'The Seed' is a gratifying surprise."-BESTOFJAZZ

"He tends to combine notated context with improvisation, and with his outstanding technical skill, the guitar not only solos, but also conducts a creative dialogue with partners.[...]Mitrousis is a new and promising name in the European jazz scene."-JAZZQUAD

"The chemistry of the group is evident. The guitar dialogues with the rest of the instruments and vice versa, enriching the final result, colorful and very, very pleasant."-La Habitacion del Jazz

"The debut offering from Athens, Greece’s Thomas Mitrousis Quartet gives a whirlwind, feet-off-the-ground experience. Leader and guitarist Mitrousis has all the fingerwork to keep the vibe easy even when the drums and brushes are briskly whisking us along. In nine fresh tracks, this CD is a simultaneous exploration into musicians that gel beautifully together while giving the listener the ability to clearly appreciate each one’s specific talent."-Debbie Burke
