VASILIS XENOPOLOUS & CHARIS IOANNOU QUINTET

VASILIS XENOPOLOUS is one of the most fiery young saxophonists around as he blazes a path through a hard bop repertoire. He's a great favourite at Bexley - and this time introduces us to yet another tenorist with a rapidly growing reputation.

CHARIS IOANNOU was born in Nicosia, Cyprus in 1976. In 1997 he was enrolled at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, and won the Woodwind Achievement Award in the last year of his studies in Boston. Charis left the United States in 2005 and moved back to Cyprus.

Charis is currently teaching the saxophone and the jazz idiom at the University of Nicosia as well as making guest faculty appearances in workshops held in Italy, Lebanon and Greece and continuing to perform and record as a leader as well as a sideman in Cyprus and abroad.
Charis has also appeared at Ronnie Scott's in London.

Supporting Vasilis and Charis this evening will be a truly great Trio -
