YEREVAN, MARCH 26, ARMENPRESS: A singer, poet, songwriter, activist,
and composer Serj Tankian recently recorded a beautiful song in
Armenian called Garuna by Komitas, with Tigran Hamasyan on piano. As
reports Armenpress referring to Serj Tankian’s official website, it
will be released on our Jazz-iz-Christ record this summer. “I want
to dedicate it to all those in Armenia fighting for positive change,”
said Tankian.
A collaborative effort, JAZZ-IZ-CHRIST has 13 tracks that weave in
and out of the jazz genre, infusing elements of traditional jazz,
electronic music and other non-traditional jazz elements. Besides
Serj, this album features Tigran Hamasyan, a notoriously talented
pianist signed to Verve Records, trumpet player Tom Duprey (From the
Prometheus Bound band), flute player Valery Tolstov, violinist and
actor David Alpay, and a host of other musical guests. The album is
mainly instrumental, but does have 3 tracks with Serj singing vocals.
