"I put together this group in February 2019 after having a big urge to play the pieces I had written in that period, but also compositions of my heroes like Mark Turner and Ambrose Akinmusire.

One of my favorite original compositions is "For Ever" and is dedicated to my dear parents." Dimitris Koutantos

LAURIE CARPENTER - trumpet
MARIOS CHARALAMBOUS - tenor sax
FEDERICA LORUSSO - piano
JACKSON SANGGEUN LEE - doubble bass
DIMITRIS KOUTANTOS - drums

Imagine yourself on a cold but sunny day
Walking around the streets of the City alone
Suddenly your mind flies away.

The time freezes and good old memories come to life
Memories of your beloved people
Images of unique places
Experiences that last for a whole lifetime.

Happy times... Difficult times...
All soulful and true!

 
That’s what the Anamnisi Quintet is all about.
Taking the listener on a spiritual journey
Reminiscing and re-discovering life.
Closer to themselves.
Closer to others!
