Today, we will be listening to the previously unreleased live recording of a concert titled “Jasmine Tea”, that took place on the 4th of April 2021 at Half Note Jazz Club. Guitarist Vassilis Rakopoulos,
Arleta’s close friend and associate for many decades, and vocalist Nana Binopoulou, together with wind instrumentalist Andreas Polyzogopoulos and percussionist Petros Kourtis, revive songs by her and her favourite composers Manos Hadjidakis and Yiannis Spanos. Arleta’s landmark songs such as “Once I remember”, “The serenade”, “The wolf”, “Paper moon”, are renewed through a sensitive and modern improvisational approach. By the way, I would like to personally thank Nana Binopoulou for generously sharing this recording with the listeners of GME.
