Tigran Hamasyan - An Ancient Observer
Review by Erin Seeger
An Ancient Observer by Tigran Hamasyan is a masterpiece of modern jazz. The album features a blend of Armenian folk music and contemporary jazz elements that are seamlessly woven together to create a unique and captivating sound.
The album consists of 10 tracks, each one showcasing Hamasyan's exceptional talent as a pianist and composer. From the opening track "Markos and Markos" to the closing track "Etude No. 1," the album takes the listener on a journey through a diverse range of musical styles and emotions.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Cave of Rebirth," which features Hamasyan's haunting vocals and intricate piano work. The track is a beautiful tribute to his Armenian heritage and showcases his ability to blend different musical influences into one cohesive sound.
Another highlight of the album is "Nairian Odyssey," a nine-minute epic that features a stunning piano solo by Hamasyan. The track builds to a crescendo before fading out into a gentle, contemplative ending.
