About “PASSAGE” :

Passage is an exploration of the journeys we all face, through personal trials or shared struggles. It reflects on the courage and strength to move forward through hard times. This album pays tribute to the community and helping hands that keep us afloat. The word Passage symbolizes reaching the other side, transforming hardship into a path to something greater.

The music on Passage is a crossover of jazz combined with Greek folk lyricism, rock intensity, and pop appeal. On his eclectic debut album, Yiannis Mitsios offers multiple musical paths forward. Each composition captures a unique moment on his journey, from nostalgia and fear to happiness, power, and weakness. With pieces like Spirit of Freedom and Shadows in the Deep, Mitsios calls back to the times when jazz music was a socially relevant art form and an engine for change, aiming to bring people of all walks of life together.
