Jazz Variations - a Komitas tribute concert performed by Tatevik
Hovanesian and friends in commemoration of the Armenian Genocide
09:58 * 19.01.15
On March 28th at the John Wayne Performring Arts Center in Glendale,
CA, jazz greats will commemorate the 100th year since the Armenian
Genocide with Jazz Variations - a tribute concert to famed
ethnomusicologist and composer Komitas.
The evening will be hosted by Arshalous Darbinyan and feature
performances by Datevik Hovanesian, the Tigran Martikyan Quartet and
Fractal Limit.
Tatevik Hovanesian is one of Armenia's most renowned musicians. Born
in Yerevan, she comes from a family of musicians and has made a name
for herself as a jazz singer, educator, recording artist and arranger.
Few are more suited to pay tribute to Komitas and the Armenian school
of music as Hovanesian.
"Although I am a jazz singer, I have not forgotten or become detached
from my Armenian roots for one minute. The Armenian folk song has
always been a major influence on me."
She will be providing her vocals to her band, a troupe of jazz
luminaries in their own right, with Bob Albanese on piano, Joe
Fitzgerald on bass, and David Meade on drums.
The Tigran Martikyan Quartet consists of Shai Golan on saxophone, Gabe
Davis on bass, Lee Spath on drums, and the group's namesake, Tigran
Martikyan on piano. In addition to being a pianist, Martikyan is a
composer and educator who has created and performed in a wide range.
His work has been hailed as being a unique combination of ethnic folk
tradition and contemporary modern jazz.
Fractal Limit is the musical duo of Tatiana Parra on vocals and Vardan
Ovsepian on piano. Parra is a Sao Paulo born musician who has been
involved in the music world since she was just five years old,
collaborating with a variety of famed artists. Ovsepian, the Armenian
half of the pair, has both educated and performed throughout the world
and is presently involved in VOCE and the Peter Erskine New Trio, in
addition to Fractal Limit. Together, the two have made refreshing and
innovative ventures in the art of jazz.
