Konstantinos Stouraitis
Jazz Musician/Composer/Educator
kon
Konstantinos, or as my friend Peter Bernstein calls him, Mr. K, is my kind of jazz guitarist. His melodic lines seem informed by a natural flow. Rather than sounding like his jazz lines (instant melodic compositions) are of the cut and paste variety, that organic flow that he has makes him compelling to listen to. He’ll only get better with time, so be on the cutting edge by supporting his exhaustive dedication, extreme hard work, and resulting artistry, NOW!
Bobby Broom
Stouraitis Smarnakis trio is a perfect example of the continuation of the jazz organ tradition that started in 1955 with Jimmy Smith. These three gentlemen show great respect at that tradition, but also have a personal touch and a fresh sound.
George Kontrafouris
Konstantinos Stouraitis is one of the most swinging guitar players I have heard in a while. He has an admirable swing feel and sophisticated, tasteful harmonies. His passion for jazz music is remarkable. He is a focused musician who continues to follow the tradition while trying to find his own voice.
Peter Bernstein
