ELDAR
Eldar-piano, Marco Panascia-bass, Todd Strait-drums
To bring out your debut album on Sony Records with Michael Brecker as a sideman, must say something about your talent and spirit. Eldar Djangirov- he only uses his first name – from Kyrgyzstan truly impresses with his Art Tatum like virtuosity and approach. The New York Times wrote: ‘It isn’t every day, or every decade for that matter, that an 18-year-old jazz pianist appears virtually out of nowhere to stir up the kind of expectations excited by the baby-faced wunderkind known simply as Eldar.’
