b. 1 May 1940, Kavala, Greece. Pianist, broadcaster, promoter, novelist and journalist Papadimitriou has been one of the moving forces behind the still-small Greek jazz scene. His radio programmes and articles in the magazine TZAZ helped to build an informed audience for jazz at its most experimental. Papadimitriou’s duo with Floros Floridis (saxophone, clarinet) was Greece’s first free music group. Unfortunately, ‘musical and personal differences’ made it a short-lived one. Although Papadimitriou periodically works with other Greek musicians, his discography is composed almost entirely of solo piano recordings. Particularly striking is his use - alternately subtle and dramatic - of the piano’s interior: plucking, strumming and striking the strings of the instrument.
