Misery Loves Company presents an exciting mixture of greek folk music and american jazz. Misery's style is eclectic; the band is comprised of musicians from the USA, Greece, India and Germany. Misery's music has a cross-cultural depth of authenticity and conviction which stems from a core of players who have known and worked with each other over a period of years. Guitarist Geoff Goodman and saxophonist Chris Hirson, both form New York, are well-known jazz musicians and prolific composers. Sakis Stratopoulos is a master of the Greek bouzuki and Sylvia Kapernaros, from Athens, is in demand throughout Greece and Europe as an interpreter of Greek music, and has worked with Greece's best known musicians, including the legendary Mikis Theodorakis. The Indian master-musician, Shankar Lal, provides the band with the needed fire coupled with a deep understanding of exotic rhythms.
Recorded at Charisma Studio, December 1997
Cover design: Michael Stueckl
