First Step

The very first spark of a unique musical language – now available as a captivating lead sheet for Bb trumpet and guitar. Composed by Nikos Tsiachris in A minor and lilting 6/8 time, "First Step" from his album 11 captures the pure essence of his personal flamenco-jazz world: flowing, almost dance-like rhythms meet warm, soaring trumpet melodies that glide over rich flamenco guitar textures. Subtle jazz harmonies and a strong narrative character give the piece an immediate sense of new beginnings and emotional depth. This composition reflects Tsiachris’ signature style – rooted in his lifelong passion for flamenco, enriched by jazz freedom and shaped by deeply personal stories. Ideal for trumpet players seeking expressive, mid-tempo duo material with authentic world-music character: intimate, forward-moving, and full of soul. A perfect introduction to the evocative sound universe of Greek-born, Berlin-based guitarist and composer Nikos Tsiachris.
