Happy coincidences can often lead to extraordinary results. No-one could have foreseen that Lars Danielsson and the Armenian pianist Tigran would pair up to form the new dream duo of the European jazz scene, when in fact the two musicians played their first concert together only one week before the scheduled recordings of Liberetto. It was clear from the first note that two musical soulmates had found each other, and despite it happening by coincidence the result of their meeting was all the more intense. Lars Danielsson says: “Tigran sees my music exactly the way I do and he composes music exactly the way I would do myself. For example, his ‘Svensk Låt’ sounds more Swedish than my songs. It was simply fantastic to record this album with him.”
Similar to his partnership with the Polish pianist Leszek Mozdzer, with whom Danielsson formed an excellent
collaboration on his previous albums Tarantella and Pasodoble, Tigran now joins the bassist and cellist in
creating an exceptional level of musical dialogue. If you consider the career of the 24-year-old pianist, this
promising collaboration seems logical — Tigran, who is commuting between New York and France, is not ‘native
to jazz, but rather received a classical education (as did Danielsson). Yet early on Tigran discovered his affection
for rock and jazz and thus he became an explorer of sound who is fond of details, with an ear for catchy melodies and is open to different genres. His method of composition always starts with improvisation, but once the piece is ready he is fond of fixed structures – another thing he and Danielsson have in common. Both his technique and expression are so stunning that Tigran won both the Thelonious Monk and Martial Solal competitions when he was still a teenager. >>
