Description: Further DetailsTitle: Sayat-Nova: Songs of My AncestorsCondition: NewDescription: EDITORIAL REVIEWS Pianist, composer, bandleader, and educator Armen Donelian has carved out an enviable career spanning four decades, including seminal stints with Jazzmen Sonny Rollins, Billy Harper, Chet Baker, and Mongo Santamaria. But two other streams Classical and Middle Eastern music have influenced Donelian s artistic direction. His new double album Sayat-Nova: Songs Of My Ancestors, his tenth release for Sunnyside, combines these divergent paths into a work of stunning cohesion and sonic beauty and further elevates Donelian s status as an improvising artist of the highest order. Donelian focuses here on the quintessential and exquisite songs of the 18th Century Armenian troubadour, Sayat-Nova. For generations, Sayat-Nova has been revered throughout the Middle East as a musician, composer, poet and philosopher. Preserving every detail of Sayat-Nova s melodies, Donelian further redefines them both as a solo performer and with his Trio. 'As a child,' Donelian says, 'the sounds of Middle Eastern, European Classical and American Jazz records were continually present in our multicultural household. These three threads form the tapestry of Sayat-Nova: Songs Of My Ancestors. Integrating them into a single coherent work is the realization of my lifelong aspiration. I am proud to present it to a broader public.'Format: CDGenre: JazzArtist: DONELIAN,ARMENNo Of Discs: 2Country/Region of Manufacture: USARecord Label: Sunnyside CommunicatLanguage: EnglishEAN: 0016728401821 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
