Bido Lito!

Tigran Hamasyan is on a roll – with recent performances on the iconic ‘Later...with Jools Holland” and inspired radio sessions with Gilles Peterson and Jamie Cullum - the 24 year old pianist’s music is fired by his passion.  His fluent improvisation fuses with the rich folkloric music and poetry of his native Armenia; this ability to stay true to his homeland while incorporating musical elements that are nothing but modern is fascinating.  Tigran topped the French Jazz charts with his Universal Records A Fable with the launch concert bringing 1700 fans to Paris’ Theatre du Chatelet.  After watching Tigran at a recent performance in Marseilles, Chick Corea said ‘....a mature and great and rich and deep artist’.

‘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.

"The talk of the international festival circuit over the past year, the young pianist Tigran has the potential to make a huge impact.” - Jazzwise

“A-may-zing!  Now Tigran, you are my teacher.”- Herbie Hancock
