Giorgos Tabakis is a 7^th String Guitarist who was born in Athens, Greece in 1980, and at the age of ten he heard the inner call to study classical guitar with guitarist-composer Kostas Eliades.

Giorgos Tabakis devoted many years of his life to learn all about jazz guitar playing and harmony together with music theory for advanced students with worldwide known guitar-composer Andreas Georgiou, the highest level in guitar teaching, improvisation, ethnomusicology, and player of traditional instruments from India, Africa and many more. Andreas was the perfect guidance for Giorgos Tabakis who was deeply immersed into learning as in a sea of musical experiences.

Since 2007 Giorgos is still trying different ways to play on 7^th Strings Guitars, making his contemporary jazz playing a unique style. He is the composer and guitarist for a number of projects: Giorgos Tabakis Trio, The Multiverse Ensemble, The Gaia Art Group and The Impulse Trio (Achilleas Tabakis on bass and Loukas Kalantzakos on drums, one of the best jazz-prog-rock-experimental drummers I listen to in a circuit of drummers from Greece, Germany and England, Loukas is the drummer for the Greek Trio Brothers TKG).

Giorgos Tabakis also teams up with musicians from jazz and the creative music area and participates in numerous concerts. Giorgos compositions are leading him to a wide position within the contemporary jazz scene in Europe.

SEX PISTOLS FANS TAKE HEED!

 ---PISTOL---

Six Episode Miniseries

 

 FX has just given the green light for the production of a six-episode miniseries to be directed by Danny Boyle, very well known for directing “Trainspotting”, “Slumdog Millionaire”, 127 Hours.

 The project -titled Pistol- will be based on “Lonely Boy: Tales From a Sex Pistol”, memoirs written by the band's guitarist Steve Jones, while the scripts will be in charge of Craig Pearce and Frank Cottrell Boyce.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Pistol will focus on Steve Jones, who co-founded the Sex Pistols in the mid-70s. The story will follow his life from West London's council estates to Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren's boutique, one of the early centers of punk culture in London- the rise and fall of the group.

 

FX president of original programming Nick Grad, said: "It's great to be working with Danny Boyle again, an exceptional artist responsible for great feature films and television series. Steve Jones was at the center of the storm that shook the institution of rock and we are delighted that Danny and the rest of the creative team are telling their story as a member of one of the most famous bands in music - the Sex Pistols. "

The series will star Toby Wallace (who will play Jones), Anson Boon (who will play John Lydon), Louis Partridge (as bassist Sid Vicious), Jacob Slater (will play Paul Cook), Fabien Frankel ( like Glen Matlock) and Maisie Williams, among others.
