Jazz

Based on his brilliant new album of solo piano (A Fable on Universal Jazz France), a French Grammy award (International Album With French Production), his collaborations with Trilok Gurtu and Dhafer Youssef, international performances including the Montreux Jazz Festival, and accolades from jazz piano legends Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea, 2011 proved to be a banner year for the young pianist born in Armenia and based in the U.S. Tigran’s music teems with his personality and is fired by his passion. His potent jazz improvisation fuses with the rich folkloric music of his native Armenia. While Tigran’s career had been on an upswing up to recording A Fable, the new album proved to solidify his growing stature in the jazz world.
