Yako Trio

Yako Trio presents their new album “Woven” with special guests Harris Lambrakis & James Wylie. Released by Fair Weather Friends Records | Cover artwork by the world-renowned design studio Beetroot. The acclaimed Thessaloniki-based jazz ensemble Yako Trio return with their highly anticipated third studio album. The album marks a new chapter in the band’s evolution, featuring two exceptional guest artists: Harris Lambrakis on ney and James Wylie on saxophone. Its cover art is designed by the internationally celebrated and award-winning design studio Beetroot, giving the project a distinctive visual identity that mirrors its sonic depth. This new quintet formation is a vision that Yako Trio have long aspired to bring to life. The collaboration with Lambrakis and Wylie adds new layers of texture and expression to the band’s music.
