Vasilis Xenopoulos & Paul Edis began playing together 20 years ago when both relocated to West London to study. Originally from Greece, Vasilis had been studying in the US, & Paul had moved from northeast England. Since then they’ve played numerous gigs together, releasing their debut album in 2016, A Narrow Escape, to critical acclaim.

Their latest recording features original music inspired by the theme of ‘home’ - representing the many places they’ve both lived, as well as the people they’ve known along the way.

Vasilis and Paul describe the music on Feels Like Home - as honest & emotional as well as eclectic, groove based and melodic. They include elements of hard bop, Latin jazz, gospel and even folk. There are nods to many jazz greats including Dexter Gordon & John Coltrane.
