The Armenian pianist Tigran Hamasyan has an utterly unique sound. Hamasyan combines traditional Armenian melodies with jazz influences and the intensity of metal and progressive rock. His compositions are dynamic, unpredictable and explosive. His virtuosity is impressive but is always the servant of emotion, whether he is seeking introspection as a solo performer or supporting rousing, filmic arrangements. The spirit of the grandmaster of emotion Keith Jarrett is certainly evident in his whimsical playing, where each note is drenched with passion. Hamasyan is as timeless as he is innovative, as recognisable as he is impervious. Always seeking the boundary between tradition and innovation, Tigran Hamsyan is a tour-de-force who will draw you into his universe. You are sure to emerge a changed person.

For fans of: Keith Jarrett, Brad Mehldau, Avishai Cohen, Esbjörn Svensson Trio
