ROSS DALY - VASILIS SOUKAS - PNOE

Ross Daly presents the project "Pnoe". This album has focussed on seven-year collaboration (1987-1993) with the never forgotten Vasili Souka, one of the last great Greek musicians. Vasilis Soukas as a child he was introduced to music, learning various instruments such as the dulcimer, guitar, lute, and of course the clarinet which seemed unique sensibility and imagination. Although an accomplished representative of the tradition of his homeland, Arta, always interested to learn new things from other traditions. The result of the searching was to have amassed a huge repertoire of music of all Greece and neighboring countries. But where revealed the full extent of his art was unique in his improvisations. It manages to be both authentic and free, drawing inspiration from all the sounds of combining with a very wise and balanced way.
