Tigran Hamasyan solo: 2010 Montreal Jazz Festival

[traneluv]

BFD. I saw him with Ari Hoenig (the guy who looks like a fucking zombie when he plays the drums) and while some of his playing was nice, most of it didn't impress me. Call me a traditionalist, I guess I'm still into guys like Aaron Goldberg and Dave Kikoski and Brad Mehldau who really OWN what they're playing. This guy is probably still discovering himself- right now I'm just hearing notes and flashy sounds.

Tigran Hamasyan is just so above and beyond what most musicians can even conceive when it comes to improvisation. The notes just flow out of him in such a complete, structured, and transcendental manner- he BECOMES music when he plays. I saw him with the Ari Hoenig Quartet earlier this year and time just stopped whenever he soloed; ideas just seemed to come to him as if he knew how they had been, how they were in the present, and how they would end with every note. I am so humbled by him.

Sounds classical. Maybe Tigran should become a classical composer / pianist.

[ZRMDMK]

only 491 views :(

but who cares at least I've watched this!

I love Tigran... he's unique...

[armmarti1]

@ZRMDMK it's quite ok that only 491 people understand what's this... Tigran is genius, and his music is superb; I love gypsyology verrrry much, and I can't count how many times I watched that; this one is also very beautiful and "implementation" is unbelievably exact, I can't understand how Tigran manages to do this... so, to resume, high quality music is not for masses, so take it easy ;)

En solo .... au festival de Jazz de La Petite Pierre : quelque chose de magique dans cette musique, avec les grillons et le quartier de lune sur les remparts .... des compositions à faire rêver tout l'auditoire !!!!

Sounds like an Armenian river flows. So nice!!!!!
