Jazzet Music Hall (musicenterathens.com) celebrates the New Year with the saxophonist Takis Paterelis and his quartet. The Athens-based band will present its new project, "Traditions," with music from different periods of jazz.

The Dimitris Kalantzis Quartet will create a Parisian atmosphere with some of the most charming jazz compositions of Michel Legrand at the Literary Society Parnassos (lsparnas.gr).

The Half Note in downtown Athens presents the Dimitris Kalantzis Quintet in a jazz tribute to Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis. The quintet is made up of Dimitris Kalantzis on the piano, Takis Paterelis on saxophone, Dimitris Papadopoulos on trumpet, Alex-Drakos Ktistakis on drums and Giorgos Georgiadis on bass. Doors open at 8.30 p.m. and the concert starts an hour later.

Olympiakos stretched its lead at the top of the Super League to six points after beating Asteras Tripolis on Thursday and Panathinaikos went down at Atromitos on Wednesday, but the Greens have huge complaints from the referee of the game at Peristeri.

PAOK has parted company with coach Angelos Anastasiadis, the Greek Super League club announced on Monday.

The 62-year-old's third spell at the helm has come to an end following a goalless draw at home to Asteras Tripolis on Saturday which left the team in third, 10 points adrift of leader Olympiakos Piraeus and seven from second-placed Panathinaikos.
