Yako Trio, Harris Lambrakis, James Wylie (3): Woven

Yako Trio presents their new album “Woven” with special guests Harris Lambrakis & James Wylie.
Released by Fair Weather Friends + 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. The mystical, meditative tone of the ney intertwines with the emotive voice of the saxophone, expanding the trio’s sound into new territories. The result is a dialogue full of color, energy, and imagination — connecting tradition with modernism, East with West, and collective memory with contemporary creation.
