Tigran Hamasyan - Shadow Theater (2013)

Although trained as a classical and jazz musician, Tigran Hamasyan draws on a wide range of influences, including Armenian folk music, rock, electronica, poetry, and more, In the past decade, with the release of four critically acclaimed albums and an unceasing touring schedule, he has built up a dedicated international following, as well as accolades from the likes of Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and Brad Mehldau. In the words of the Guardian, Hamasyan ‘is guided by one of (mentor and fan Herbie Hancock’s) most enduring lessons: it's possible to be a multi-stylistic jazz virtuoso and a groove-powered hitmaker simultaneously and hugely enjoy all of it.’ The Times said of his most recent release, 2013’s Shadow Theater, ‘Armenian folk, electronic loops, heavenly voices and indie rock energy vie with Hamasyan’s rippling piano to create a dramatic, deeply melodic music unlike anything else you’ll hear this year.' “A-may-zing! Now, Tigran, you are my teacher” — Herbie Hancock, onstage Festival Orleans Jazz; “A mature and great and rich and deep artist“ — Chick Corea, August 2011; “He plays piano like a raga, the next Keith Jarrett“ — Trilok Gurtu, Theatre Du Chatelet March 2011; “Tigran really grabbed me, in this really cool way“ — Brad Mehldau, NY Times 2011; "Where so much contemporary jazz can be a dreary display of muscle memory, Tigran has found a way to keep improvisation fresh and lyrical. Other jazz musicians would be wise to take note." — The Guardian; “There are many brilliant and perfectly finished young jazz pianists around, but Hamasyan stands out because he has something important and urgent to say.” — Daily Telegraph. --------- Enjoy!!! --------- Здесь вы можете слушать онлайн Tigran Hamasyan, Tigran Hamasyan trio, mp3 бесплатно и без регистрации.
