Thalassa

thallasa album

Thalassa is the debut album of Greek drummer and composer Billy Prim. The five-track album is a reflection and exploration of the inner world in all it is. From the opening track Enlightenment begins the journey, a hunting piano ambience and intensely real soundscape that quickly envelopes you. The album takes the listener on a journey of self discovery, continence and devotion to ultimately reach a place of your truthful inner self in the final song Midnight Sea. 

Through his own musical and personal experiences, Prim explores his own side of spirituality . The result is a natural sound with free improvisation, strong melodic lines and elements of other genres that emerge the profound heart and soul to draw you in and holding you captive until the end. 

“We all have a super power an unbreakable point that leaves within us and this is something I feel compelled to explore as an artist and human being,” says Prim.

  • Billy Prim with the great support from an outstanding Attila Blaho on piano created a beautiful album that shows all the elements of contemporary European jazz music where a line is drawn from traditional and classical music into improvisational music

    Michael's Jazz Blog
  • Billy Prim's sound is surprisingly not dominated by the drums, but by the cherry picked melodic instrumentalists, and by long and dreamy collective dynamic build-ups. The music is meditative and repetitive, nurturing the listener's imagination
