  “To Pragma” (The Thing), the jazz orchestra of the pianist Costis Christodoulou, releases its debut album, “Year of the Thing” by Trumpetfish Records.
  Eight years after the first, self-titled release, the new Pragma’s LP features original compositions that, while based on swing and blues traditions (Charles Mingus and Duke Ellington), blends with modal sounds (Sun Ra and John Coltrane) and creates a meditational effect. This route, from New Orleans’ boogie-woogie to Far Eastern tea ceremonies, is basically a creative pursuit for happiness for both musicians and listeners.
  
  Musicians:
  
  Manos Theodosakis, trumpet
  Dimitris Tsakas, alto saxophone
  
  Takis Paterelis, tenor saxophone/flute
  Kostas Konstantinou, contrabass
  Serafim Bellos, drums
  
  «To Pragma – Year of the Thing» is the first release from Trumpetfish Records based in Athens founded by Angelos Angelidis in February 2020. The label is focused at releasing great and interesting projects, of all genres, supporting new ideas and creative artists.
  
  The LP is released on May 20 on Vinyl limited to 350 copies.
