Just wanted to draw everyone's attention to an up and coming young oud player from Greece who has just released a CD. His name is Alekos Vretos and
you can find out more about him on his website:
www.alekosvretos.gr
All the best

David,
Thanks for posting this great website...Alekos was a friend of my late teacher Al Bardezbanian's...Al wrote a piece for him which appears on his 'Kef
to Classical' CD called 'Aleko's Kalamantiano'....in turn, Alekos wrote 'Big Al's Longa' for Al...this song is on Alekos myspace site, http://www.myspace.com/vretos ... this guy is a really special oud player, a true talent. thanks again david.

Dear Friends,
Thank you for your kind words and thanks for supporting me in the forum. I have a new post up for a voting poll in http://www.jazzworldquest.com in order to be in the top 50 of the site's "fuze that jazz" artist.
Thanks again for everything. It's nice to know that there are people out there that actually LOVE the oud.
