Description du concert
Tigran Hamasyan est considéré comme l’un des pianistes/compositeurs jazz-rock les plus remarquables et singuliers de sa génération. Virtuose du piano doté d’une puissance de groove, Hamasyan fusionne avec aisance l’improvisation jazz percutante et le rock progressif avec la richesse de la musique folklorique de son Arménie natale. Né à Gyumri, en Arménie, en 1987, son parcours musical débute dès l’enfance, dans une maison baignée de diverses influences musicales. Il commence le piano à l’âge de trois ans, se produit dans des festivals et compétitions dès ses onze ans, et remporte le concours de piano du Montreux Jazz Festival en 2003. Il sort son premier album, World Passion, en 2004, à l’âge de dix-sept ans. L’année suivante, il remporte le prestigieux Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano Competition. Parmi ses autres albums figurent New Era, Red Hail, A Fable (pour lequel il reçoit une Victoire de la Musique, l’équivalent des Grammy Awards en France), Shadow Theater, et Luys i Luso, en collaboration avec le Chœur de Chambre d’État d’Erevan, consacré à la musique sacrée arménienne, du Ve au XXe siècle.Au-delà des récompenses et de la reconnaissance critique, Hamasyan s’est construit un public fidèle à travers le monde, ainsi que l’admiration d’artistes tels que Herbie Hancock, Brad Mehldau ou

Biographie de Tigran Hamasyan
With pianist/composer Tigran Hamasyan, potent jazz improvisation fuses with the rich folkloric music of his native Armenia.
Turning 30 in 2017, he’s one of the most remarkable and distinctive jazz-meets-rock pianists of his generation. A piano virtuoso with groove power.
Tigran’s latest adventurous project is 2017’s An Ancient Observer, his second solo album, his eighth overall as a sole leader, and his sophomore recording for Nonesuch. (Overall, this is his eighth recording as a sole leader.) Conceptually, An Ancient Observer is a poignant album focusing on the art of observing.
Tigran’s career has included an impressive number of accolades, including top piano award at the 2013 Montreux Jazz Festival and the grand prize at the prestigious 2006 Thelonious Monk Jazz Piano Competition. One of his earliest albums, 2008’s New Era, was championed by one scribe who wrote that “with more seasoning and a calming maturity not driven by merely showing off, Hamasyan is certain to elevate his art to a top tier of jazz and world music expressionism.” Several years later he certainly made that statement prophetic as he was applauded by NPR Music: “With startling combinations of jazz, minimalist, electronic, folk and songwriterly elements…Hamasyan and his collaborators travel musical expanses marked with heavy grooves, ethereal voices, pristine piano playing and ancient melodies. You’ll hear nothing else like this in 2015.”
He has recorded on various labels —France’s Red Loins, Nonesuch and ECM— with his electro-acoustic powerhouse trio as well as the Yerevan State Chamber Choir for his 2015 Luys i Luso project focused on Armenian sacred music stretching stylistically from the 5th century to the 20th century.
In 2015, Tigran garnered the prestigious Paul Acket Award at the North Sea Jazz Festival and the following year earned the Echo Award (the German Grammy) for best international piano album of the year for his superb recording Mockroot.
Tigran has toured internationally for a fan bass that ranges from adventurous jazz aficionados to progressive hardcore metal listeners. Of his new recording, which he will be touring this spring in Europe and the U.S., Tigran says, “An Ancient Observer is presenting the observation of the world we live in now and the weight of our history we carry on our shoulders that is influencing us even if we don't realize it. This album is the observation of influences and experiences I had.”
