Athens-born saxophonist and music teacher Nick Bakopoulos currently resides in the city of Athens, Greece. He successfully received his Bachelor diploma studying jazz music and saxophone in Prins Claus Conservatoire, Groningen, Netherlands.  He is influenced by a great variety of musical traditions, ranging from, for example, the Afro-American tradition, to free improvisation, to contemporary singers, singer songwriters and so on.  Next to his Bachelor of Music, Nick has been often hired as a session musician and been active in his own teaching practice. Nick can be considered a very social musician, who enjoys sharing his experience and knowledge with his students as well as with his colleagues. An important role in which he fulfils all of these talents at once, is as leader of his own jazz quartet named NikoBa4tet.  NikoBa4tet strives to mix traditional jazz music with modern aesthetics, through the use of original arrangements and their own compositions.
