Everything In Between

Digital · XJM25016 · ~46:00

The Jako Quartet is the new project of Berlin-based Greek guitarist Iakovos „Jako“ Symeonidis. Building on his debut album „Safe Place“, the group focuses on original music that blends jazz, soul and funk. Recorded in May 2025, „Everything In Between“ gathers nine tracks – mostly original compositions by Symeonidis, shaped by his experiences as a Greek immigrant living abroad – alongside pieces from the jazz tradition and his own arrangements of classic funk and soul tunes. The album features the quartet's core members Thomas Hahn (tenor and soprano saxophones), Maik Kleer (electric bass), Aarón Castrillo (drums) and Symeonidis on guitar, with guest musicians – among them Lionel Haas and Amanda Becker – adding texture throughout. Their sound blends swing, Afro and funk grooves with improvisation and spontaneity. At its heart, the album is about living in the moment: jazz at the core, yet open and accessible. Released on XJAZZ! Music.
