![]() Although the lyra comes preloaded with centuries of tradition, the music produced by the quartet assembled here- rounded out by pianist Yann Keerim, bassist Dimitris Tsekouras, and drummer Dimitris Emmanuel-is resolutely forward-looking. After years of being a vital yet overshadowed sideman, Eight Winds finds the virtuoso making his debut as leader. ![]() Despite its small size, the lyra is capable of painting holistic landscapes, and none so sweeping as those at Sinopoulos’s touch. Sokratis Sinopoulos is a master of the lyra, a bowed instrument whose lilt has polished a handful of ECM gems, including soundtracks of Greek composer Eleni Karaindrou (notably, The Weeping Meadow) and the Athens Concert of Charles Lloyd and Maria Farantouri. Recorded April 2014 at Sierra Studios, Athens
