Asaf Sirkis Trio listings

Known largely for his work with Gilad Atzmon, Asaf has also led some superb albums in the last decade. The obvious reference point is the muscular drummer led fusion of Tony Williams' Lifetime and, like Williams, Sirkis is not only an inventive drummer but also a composer of rigour, wit and surprising delicacy. Asaf Sirkis playing and compositions reflect Middle Eastern and North African influences, as well as the 70s fusion style of John McLaughlins Mahavishnu Orchestra.

The trio also features the extraordinary playing of guitarist Tassos Spiliotopoulos, and the constantly inventive Yaron Stavi on bass.

Originally from Greece, Tassos Spiliotopoulos moved to London in 2000 and since then has worked with artists such as Kenny Wheeler, Gary Husband, Tim Garland, John Parricelli, Mike Outram, John Etheridge, and many more.

Yaron Stavi plays double bass and electric bass in various styles of music including Jazz, Rock, Classical and World Music. He is a member of Gilad Atzmons band The Orient House Ensemble which regularly tours Europe and has performed with Nigel Kennedy Larry Coryell, Peter King, Gary Husband and John Etheridge amongst many others.
