Recording with Con Campbel
Among various world music styles, Ellie has explored Greek Rebetika fusion in jazz saxophonist Con Campbell's original PhD compositions. This music was revied positively by Skylark magazine:
“The members of KAVOS display exceptional musicianship throughout “Pirates of Piraeus.” The instrumental performances are nothing short of virtuosic, with each musician demonstrating their technical prowess and deep understanding of their respective instruments. The interplay between the instruments is a joy to behold, as the band members effortlessly navigate intricate melodies and complex rhythmic structures. The improvisational sections allow each musician to shine individually, showcasing their creativity and ability to push the boundaries of their craft.”
