Tigran Hamasyan is an Armenian jazz pianist, born on 17 July 1987. With his unique blend of traditional Armenian folk music and contemporary jazz influences, he has captivated audiences around the world. His virtuosic piano playing and innovative compositions have earned him critical acclaim and numerous awards. Tigran's music is a fusion of Eastern and Western traditions, creating a truly distinctive sound that pushes the boundaries of jazz. Whether performing solo or with his band, he continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in modern jazz.

Nonesuch Records releases pianist and composer Tigran Hamasyan’s StandArt—his first album of American standards—on April 29, 2022.

StandArt includes songs from the 1920s through the 1950s, by Richard Rodgers, Charlie Parker, Jerome Kern, David Raksin, and others; it also includes a piece Hamasyan improvised with his bandmates—bassist Matt Brewer and drummer Justin Brown—and trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, who is featured on two of the album’s tracks.

Other special guests include saxophonist and label-mate Joshua Redman on Charlie Parker’s “Big Foot,” as well as saxophonist Mark Turner on Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein’s “All the Things You Are.”

Produced by Hamasyan and recorded last spring in Los Angeles, StandArt is Hamasyan’s first release of American music, having previously only released original compositions and traditional Armenian music.
