Georges Arvanitas
Georges was born in 1931 in Marseille. He started to study the classical piano at age 5. His career began as an accompanist for jazz greats. When, in 1952, he moved to Paris, Georges made his debut in two of the most famous jazz clubs, le Tabou et le Trois-Malletz. He encountered, among others, Dexter Gordon, Bill Coleman, Dizzy Gillespie, Barney Kessl, Roland Kirk and Sonny Stitt, and played together with them.
 
In the 60's, Georges two times toured the USA. Later he founded his own trio, with which he recorded various albums.
 
Georges passed away on 25 September 2005.
