The next 10 years were spent intensely studying classical piano in Armenia's prestigious school for gi fted children\, along with an in depth private study of works of jazz mast ers Duke Ellington\, Charlie Parker\, Thelonious Monk\, Bud Powell\, Art T atum\, and others.\n\nDiscovered by a French-Armenian jazz promoter\, youn g Tigran was invited to participate at several European festivals\, where he became an instant sensation. He met and garnered rave revues from legen ds like Herbie Hancock\, Wayne Shorter\, Chick Corea\, John McLaughlin\, J oe Zawinul\, and others. He also won the 2003 Montreux Jazz Festival Solo Piano Competition\, and the 2005 Monaco Jazz Piano Competition.\n\nTigran was still virtually unknown in the States when he entered the world's most prestigious jazz competition-- the Thelonious Monk Piano Competition in 2 006. The panel of judges made up of Herbie Hancock\, Danilo Perez\, Renee Rosnes\, Billy Taylor\, and Randy Weston awarded him the 1st place against the more well-known and more accomplished competitors Gerald Clayton (2nd place) and Aaron Parks (3rd place). Since then Tigran has appeared at vir tually every major jazz festival and concert hall\, and has recorded for l abels such as Nonesuch\, Verve\, and most recently for the legendary ECM. He also won the French Grammy Award in 2011 and German ECHO award in 2016. \n\nTigran's music is heavily influenced by folk\, traditional\, and spiri tual Armenian music\, Armenian medieval poetry\, literature and fables\, a s well as the jazz and classical music cannon\, thrash metal\, rock\, elec tronic music\, and the traditional music of many countries such as India\, Morocco\, and Norway to name a few. To call his work jazz\, or ethno-jazz is to severely understate and limit what it truly is-- a uniquely individ ual musical voice unlike anything else on the scene. This is a performance not to be missed!\nTickets:\n$15 in advance (includes all fees) through T ickettomato.com\n\n$17 at the door\n\nALL AGES WELCOME!\n\n \;\nCheck out some great videos:\nInterview with Tigran for Italian TV about his fir st solo album “Fable”\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0R9vi73Q7w\n \n\n\nTigran - The Spinners (Later with Jools Holland)\n\nhttps://www.yout ube.com/watch?v=XOg6darsMws\n\nTigran performing The Spinners from his alb um 'A Fable' live on Later with Jools Holland 4th May 2012.\n\n\n\nhttps:/ /www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVN36Ou4BUU\n\nTwenty-six-year-old Armenian Jazz pianist Tigran Hamasyan masterfully delivers the emotional\, "What The Wav es Brought\," in KUTX's Studio 1A.\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v= gzFAR6aN20g\n\nTigran Hamasyan (piano\,keyboard)\, Areni Agbabian (vocal\, keyboard)\, Charles Altura (guitar)\, Sam Minaie (bass)\, Arthur Hnatek ( drums) http://www.tigranhamasyan.com ...\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/wa tch?v=EemtOjLpK0g\n\nFestival Orléans' Jazz\, June 28th 2008\, Tigran Ham asyan Herbie Hancock Lionel Loueke\, Herbie says "Tigran\, amazing\, He's my teacher now !"
