Savina Yannatou Live in Chicago!!!

SAVINA YANNATOULIVE @ Old Town School of Folk MusicSunday, September 21, 2008 | 7:00pmGary and Laura Maurer Concert Hall :: 4544 N Lincoln Ave.
Savina Yannatou$15 General Public/$13 Old Town School Members/$15 Seniors & ChildrenBUY TICKETS ONLINE: oldtownschool.tix.comBOX OFFICE: 773.728.6000Savina Yannatou uses traditional material from Greece and theMediterranean region to craft a contemporary sound that will carryyou across cultural borders into an exciting world where the past andpresent meet in music.

NEW ALBUM INFO:
"Songs Of An Other", recorded in Athens on October 2007, is the third ECM album by Greek singer Savina Yannatou & Primavera en Salonico. It finds the adventurous collective sailing through traditional songs from Armenia, Macedonia, Serbia, Kazakhstan, and Southern Italy as well as Greece, adding a 16th century hymn from the Yiddish tradition.
Once again, the arrangements, by Kostas Vomvolos with input from all band members, find the points that suggest a unity of the traditions, while Savina locates areas where experimental vocal technique can overlap with the idiosyncrasies of folk singing, as folk melody erupts into free areas. The improvisational quotient is stronger on "Songs Of An Other" than on "Sumiglia", the collective's 2004 album and the whole ensemble's growth of confidence is immediately evident. They've toured extensively in the last four years and the group sound is at once tighter and liberated. Distinctions between 'jazz' players and traditional instrumentalists inside the ensemble no longer apply. Each musician is fully engaged in shaping and developing the music. "If you start improvising then something else happens, just as one thought will take you to another, without the connections being obvious." Yannatou has said. "This time the selection of material seemed to emphasize strongly rhythmic elements and 'strange' melodies, and I think this encouraged the flow of improvisational ideas."
