Jazz Elements - Jazz Trio in Crete
In 2017, three friends with a shared passion for jazz came together in the vibrant city of Chania on the beautiful island of Crete. United by their love for this timeless genre, they envisioned creating a space where jazz could thrive, not only as a form of entertainment but as a living, evolving art. This dream materialized at Elements in Plaka, a charming venue where they established a weekly jazz club. Here, they began to showcase an eclectic mix of artists and genres while delighting audiences with their own unique interpretations of Broadway jazz standards. Their improvisational style quickly captured the hearts of locals and summer visitors alike, earning them a devoted following from around the world.
Each member of the trio brought a wealth of experience as a professional musician, having performed with distinguished bands and projects across the globe. This collective expertise became the foundation for their growing reputation as one of the finest jazz ensembles in Greece. Over time, their dynamic performances began to attract other talented musicians who shared their vision, forming a collective that represents the pinnacle of jazz artistry on the island. Based in Chania, Jazz Elements has become synonymous with excellence in live jazz, performing at intimate private venues, upscale weddings, lively celebrations, and renowned festivals throughout Greece.
