A captivating fusion of modern jazz and Mediterranean influences.
—PK Music
PK Music announces the upcoming release of Daydreaming, the debut piano trio album from Cypriot pianist and composer Christos Yerolatsitis. Officially hitting platforms on March 14, 2025, this deeply personal collection showcases Yerolatsitis’s singular voice, blending modern jazz with the vibrant hues of his Mediterranean roots.
Having previously worked with world-renowned musicians such as Erik Truffaz, Ranjit Barot, and Masa Kamaguchi, Yerolatsitis now brings his own compositions to the forefront. He joins forces with Greek double bassist Grigoris Theodoridis and Hungarian drummer Attila Gyárfás—an unconventional trio that stretches beyond traditional jazz roles. On tracks like “Cactus,” the drummer’s wide-ranging rhythmic palette and the bassist’s improvisatory style form a distinctive, forward-thinking soundscape.
A centerpiece of the album is “Untold,” an edgy three-part suite featuring guest saxophonist David Lynch. The piece begins with an 11/8 meter that gradually evolves into a hypnotic, layered groove, transitions into an open, reflective mid-section, and culminates in a cathartic finale of looping arpeggios and a repeated melody—providing ample space for free-flowing sax improvisation. By contrast, “Memories” and “Waltz for Persefoni” offer an intimate glimpse into Yerolatsitis’s personal world, recalling summer nights spent with his grandmother and godmother—women who significantly shaped his upbringing. These pieces underscore the warmth and sincerity at the heart of Daydreaming.
“This album comes from a very honest place,” Yerolatsitis reflects. “It’s a snapshot of our journey together as musicians and individuals. The music doesn’t aim to prove anything; it simply expresses where we are right now.”
The album's artwork was created in collaboration with renowned black-and-white street photographer Charis Ioannou. His vision and concept turned the music into a visual statement.
