NEW RELEASE, September 15 2025:

A collaboration with composer Julia Werntz, the Pandelis Karayorgis Trio
(Nate McBride, bass and Randy Peterson, drums) and pianist Eric Moe.
Moe performs Werntz’s microtonal piano piece Capricious Nocturnal Variations,
and the trio takes the variations and runs with them! The trio uses a specially t
uned keyboard (mapped to a a twelve-note, microtonal scale) alongside
a standard piano. New originals by Karayorgis and Werntz, as well.

(Available on Bandcamp now)

NEW RELEASE, September 15 2025:

This intergenerational trio brings together saxophonist Noah Campbell,
bassist Brittany Karlson, and pianist Pandelis Karayorgis. Noah and Brittany
both make strong individual statements here—Noah combining his emerging
performing career with Poli. Sci. doctoral studies, and Brittany at the
end of a period when she lived and worked in Boston, before relocating to
New York in 2024. Pandelis, a long-time Boston-based pianist with
numerous groups and projects over the decades, organized and led this
trio’s projects between 2023 and 2025. This recording features six originals
and six improvisations. Noah put it beautifully: “Between the three of us,
there is a bond of language but also an openness to explore beyond it.
The music here feels conversational, with our
cadences, breath, and pauses, all accounted for.”
