Cully Jazz Festival – Trilok & Tigran in Duet

Janine — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:19:04 +0000

"The long duet was freely developed – there was many a nod and mutual glance – and the pianist's tricks and fancies sat well over chattering tablas, brushed snare and full-on drum kit rock. There were set-piece endings, synchronised stabs and a highlight vocal duet with Gurtu scatting tabla rhythms to Hamasyan's human beatbox pulse – lines were swapped, argued over and finally brought to heel." (Queen Elizabeth Hall, London 2011). Together on April 14 at Cully Jazz Festival: http://bit.ly/H4KzMl
