Harris Lambrakis Quartet (HLQ) was formed in 2006 in Athens and since then has been performing exclusively original music composed by its members.
The band constantly delves deeper into the relationship among its musicians and their audience, while exploring the musical landscapes of the East and the West. Modal jazz, Greek traditional music and modal music of East Mediterranean blend in harmony with the jazz melodies of the ‘60s and improvisation music. The result is a musical journey from where the audience, together with the band, face the unexpected that cannot be defined but only followed.
HLQ has released three albums, Théa (2010), Metéora (2013) and Lafina (2023).
