Les Trois Femmes | Swing Jazz Group

Irini Varthakouri

Vocals

Irini, is a multi talented musician with a rich musical background into Bossa Nova, Samba and Brazilian grooves. Her genuine love for music led her to further expand her musical horizons and join a Gospel choir. She has brought all her knowledge, passion, positivity and focus on detail to Les Trois Femmes and truly believes that nothing is impossible.

Manto Panagiotaki

Vocals

Manto is one of those people that probably sang before they could walk. After singing with various jazz groups in the Athens area, she came to our attention so we invited her overfor a sing-along. Well, we are still singing and playing music together in this wonderful family we call Les Trois Femmes. She can sing the blues, pour out her heart in a ballad or swing you into a trance with a Cole Porter tune.

Ersi Oikonomou

Vocals

Musicality and sensitivity, positivity coupled with a dynamic personality, a rich musical background and an open mind, a good work ethic with a focus on detail and the intrinsic need to express oneself through this particular vocal trio. The perfect combination of all these attributes in a woman who goes by the name of Ersi Oikonomou.

Mark Joseph Priest

Guitar & All Vocal Arrangements

Mark plays guitar, sings and has written all the vocal arrangements for Les Trois Femmes. The project has been a long time in the making and has not been an easy task to fulfill. He has successfully captured the mood of the era while keeping the personalities of the singers that will be singing the songs in mind. Although a very accomplished singer himself, he chooses to not be in the spotlight vocally but rather have a few personal moments in the show. The main part of his energy goes into his guitar work thus creating the harmonic backdrop that the girls can lean on musically and bring out the best in themselves.

Kostas Kostantinou

Double Bass

Kostas is literally and figuratively “The Rock”! No he is not an actor from an action film made in Hollywood. Rather, he is the rock solid, hyper-swinging acoustic bass player of Les Trois Femmes. He has played with anyone who is anyone within Greece and has also made his presence known internationally on numerous occasions. He constitutes the other half of the rhythm section of the group and is our newest member who naturally became part of the family the first time we played together. He is the ambassador of fine taste and magical bass lines that carry the group along their chosen musical escapades.
