JOHN BEASLEY

For one night only, Athens has the rare chance to experience the brilliance of John Beasley, two-time GRAMMY® winner and collaborator with legends like Miles Davis, Chaka Khan, and Steely Dan, live on stage. Catch his electrifying Greek debut at Theatre of the No on Thursday, May 15th at 21:00 with Serras Bellos on drums and Manos Loutas on bass. Fresh from directing the International Jazz Day Global Concert in Abu Dhabi, Beasley brings his world-class artistry to Athens for an unforgettable night of modern jazz. A true "jazz chameleon," Beasley launched his career in his twenties, touring with icons Miles Davis and Freddie Hubbard. Over the years, he has become one of the most dynamic and versatile forces in music, collaborating with giants across genres including Dianne Reeves, Christian McBride, Queen Latifah, A.R. Rahman, Chucho Valdés, Herbie Hancock, and John Patitucci. His 20 albums have garnered two GRAMMY® Awards and an impressive 14 GRAMMY® nominations. Beyond the stage, Beasley’s talents extend deep into Hollywood: he has worked closely with 14-time Oscar-nominated composer Thomas Newman on blockbuster scores such as Skyfall, Spectre, Finding Nemo, and composed for TV series, Star Trek: The Next Generation and Fame to name a couple. Don’t miss your chance to witness Beasley’s playing, which, as the Los Angeles Times describes, “reflects a variety of generational influences, incorporating the emphatic chordal clusters of Herbie Hancock, the rhythmic quirkiness of Monk, and the lush intelligence of Art Tatum into a highly refined personal voice.” Experience it live and up close at Theatre of the No. Line-up: John Beasley: Piano Serras Bellos: Drums Manos Loutas: Bass
