Yet something very different emerged. As the pair quickly established an intuitive telepathy, the music germinated from jams and loops, its varied touchpoints - rock, funk, jazz, dub and more - were complemented by a unique atmosphere of two cultures and creatives colliding, their expression liberated by making music in and for the moment itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003eJoined by Tony’s regular collaborators Vincent Taeger (percussion, marimba), Vincent Taurelle (keys) and Ludovic Bruni (bass, guitar) that first meeting resulted in a handful of near complete songs, which were further developed during a couple of subsequent sessions. But between scheduling issues and Covid restrictions, the recordings were never completed before Tony passed away in April 2020 at the age of 79.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003eYannis felt a deep duty to complete the project, not only as a bittersweet way to honour and celebrate his friend, but also because Tony had been so eager to share these songs with the world. The result is the upcoming five-track EP, ‘Lagos Paris London’, under the Yannis \u0026amp; The Yaw umbrella - a project that he plans to return to in the future for further collaborations with inspiring musicians from across the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e‘Lagos Paris London’ is high-spirited, loose-grooved exuberance completed by the complex rhythms and unhurried style of the man who inspired it. It’s a communion with the past that provides an escape in the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e1.
