The Jazz Utopia's music on Arothymian is based on mixing melodic and rhythmic elements from Greek music and harmonic / rhythmic colours found in jazz and contemporary music. In the original compositions from the band members, the most important aspect is Improvisation. The Jazz Utopia Quartet moves between East and West, with the same power and belief, both through the written melodies and the improvisation parts. Their sound is sometimes electric, "harsh" with a rock energy, and sometimes simply atmospheric, almost romantic, taking you on a journey with no ending, a "utopia", which you will enjoy taking. The Jazz Utopia trio was formed in spring 2001 based on the idea to work on odd rhythms. The trio members' love for jazz and Greek traditional music, plus the will to create music where all these elements fused together, led them to creating a sound that was based on these musical components. In July 2003, in an engagement at the International Percussion Festival' of Petroupolis, Takis Paterelis, one of the most prominent sax men in Greece, joined the trio both for the concert and for the recording of Arothymian.
