About Alexis Kasinos:
Alexis Kasinos is a jazz guitarist and composer based in Cyprus. He began studying piano and guitar at a young age, later earning his BMus and MMus in jazz guitar from Codarts Conservatory (cum laude, 2015) and Amsterdam Conservatory (2017). During his studies in the Netherlands, he studied under leading jazz figures such as Peter Bernstein, Jesse Van Ruller, Martijn van Iterson, Reinier Baas, and Gilad Hekselman. He has performed across a wide range of ensembles — from trios to big bands — and taken part in major festivals including Windcraft Festival, Paradise Jazz Festival, Jazz & World Music Showcase, Fengaros Festival, and more. A notable highlight of his career was a collaborative tour with American pianist David Garfield.
“Parallel Paths” marks Kasinos’s second release as a bandleader, showcasing his evolution as both a composer and improviser within the contemporary jazz idiom.
