Diminuita

DIMINUITA made their first appearance under this name in November 2007. They have long before loved and pored into gypsy jazz, a kind so special and so rare in Greece.

They have been playing and teaching music for at least fifteen years. For the last two years though, they are solely working on European Jazz (Jazz Manouche). That is the European version of string swing ( also called “chamber jazz”), as it was originally played in the 1930’s by Django Rheinhardt and Stephane Grappeli of The Hot Club de France.

DIMINUITA have performed at several live clubs in Athens. The following are mentioned just for the record: Kyttaro, Parafono Jazz Club, Tchae stin Sahara, Baraki tou Vasili, Bacaro Jazz Club, Dizzy Miles and others.

They also took part in the European music day at Volos in June ’08 and the same month of the next year they played live in Preveza, Parga and Larisa. That summer finished with an appearance at the Athens’ Technopolis.

In February 2009 they contributed to the protest happenings made against the closing of the Kyprou and Patision Park.
