THEATRE OF THE NO, Athens’ first English speaking theatre, launches “NO, JAZZ
SATURDAYS” featuring the internationally acclaimed saxophonist Gilad Atzmon, who will
perform and curate the November sessions. Atzmon is regarded as a pioneer for blending
contemporary jazz with traditional Eastern music and has collaborated with some of the
most recognizable names in music, including Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney, and Robert Wyatt.
Robert Wyatt, writing for The Guardian, described him as “the greatest living musician on
the planet.”
Gilad Atzmon will make two exclusive performances: on Saturday, November 9th with the
“Jim Kassavetis Quartet” and on November 30nd with “The Ultimate Duo” offering an
unparalleled jazz experience for enthusiasts. The program continues with renowned artists
and rising musicians, presenting a rich musical spectacle with international standards.

Program Details
November 9th: Jim Kassavetis Quartet featuring Gilad Atzmon
Dimitris Kassavetis, a 16-year-old prodigy known for his extensive musical vocabulary,
technical excellence, and innovative approach, is undoubtedly jazz’s new rising star.
With his impressive presence, Jim Kassavetis will lead the band, supported by the “The
Mamas & the Papas” of Greek jazz: jazz mentor and virtuoso Konstantinos Stouraitis on
bass, legendary Sera Bellos on drums, and internationally acclaimed jazz star Gilad Atzmon.
This ensemble promises an unparalleled musical experience, blending powerful
performances and melodic brilliance.

November 16th: Alekos Vretos Quartet – Mediterranean Echoes
Alekos Vretos presents Mediterranean Echoes, an innovative jazz project that breaks
tradition by omitting percussion and drums. In this setting, rhythm is implied, allowing the
musicians to express through pure melody. The oud and traditional clarinet blend seamlessly

with bass and piano, each musician contributing their unique artistry while preserving the
original essence of the compositions.
The repertoire features original pieces by all four artists, interwoven with beloved works by
Ara Dinkjian, Simon Shaheen, and Anouar Brahem. Audience interaction is key, making each
performance an engaging, one-of-a-kind experience in Mediterranean jazz.
Alekos Vretos: Oud, Spiros Nikas: Clarinet, Lambros Papadopoulos: Bass, Dimitris

November 23rd: Gypsy Jazz Trio – Konstantinos Mitropoulos
Konstantinos Mitropoulos, renowned guitarist from Gadjo Dilo, forms a trio dedicated to
the legendary French gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt and the tradition of Manouche or
Gypsy Jazz. Their repertoire includes compositions and arrangements recorded by Reinhardt,
merging the retro vibe of the 1930s and ’40s with a fresh and creative approach.

November 30th: The Ultimate Duo – Yiannis Papadopoulos and Gilad Atzmon
From Baroque to Tango, from Astor Piazzolla to John Coltrane, and back to Bach, Yiannis
Papadopoulos is one of the most creative musicians on the Greek scene. A virtuoso yet
sensitive artist, he embodies lyrical, poetic improvisation. He will share the stage with Gilad
Atzmon, known for his mastery and pioneering approach to World Jazz, blending Coltrane’s
music with Mediterranean influences.
