Passage is a musical reflection on personal growth,
resilience, and transformation. Blending jazz with
Greek folk lyricism, rock energy, and subtle pop
influences, each piece traces a different stage of the
journey—from nostalgia and doubt, to clarity and
hope. Shaped by Mitsios’s distinctive guitar style—
grounded in melodic storytelling, rhythmic focus,
and a clear sense of structure—the music offers
a personal approach to contemporary jazz. The
Yiannis Mitsios Quintet brings together a group of
close collaborators and some of the Netherlands’
most promising young jazz voices.
