About / Biography

Versatile 2–5 Piece Jazz Band – Swing, Pop, Dixieland & Beyond
From lively Dixieland to smooth bossa nova, from classic swing to modern jazz-funk and Motown, we bring a rich mix of styles to every performance. Our repertoire spans jazz interpretations of pop hits, cool and modal jazz, Latin grooves, bebop classics, and even elegant touches like Schubert’s Ave Maria.

The core trio features saxophone, electric bass, and piano, with the option to expand to a quintet including vocals, drums, and guitar upon request. Perfect for creating the right atmosphere—whether it’s a classy event, a celebration, or a night of pure musical energy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Our name comes from Elements, the venue where we had our most memorable residency. We performed there weekly, each time presenting a fresh theme and a new musical journey for our audience.


What's your favourite type of event?

We especially enjoy performing for jazz enthusiasts, but we bring the same energy and passion to any audience.

Formed in 2017, we’ve been performing regularly ever since. Each season we play around 50 shows across Crete, bringing our music to weddings, hotels, bars, restaurants, and private celebrations.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

We draw inspiration from a wide range of styles. Our favorites include jazz legends like Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, and Horace Silver, as well as classic Dixieland tunes — but we also love reimagining pop music from artists such as Nirvana, Sting, and The Beatles.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?
