Peterson Concert: Eldar, Jazz Pianist @ Greenwich Library Cole Auditorum
October 16, 2016 @ 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm
At the Greenwich Library Cole Auditorium
When Eldar Djangirov (pronounced john-‘gear-ov) was signed to Sony Masterworks at age 17, the young pianist from Kansas City was already well known for his prodigious pyrotechnics and precocious knowledge of the bebop tradition. Along the way, he’s had the good fortune to meet and work with the masters including Dr. Billy Taylor, Michael Brecker, Marian McPartland, Dave Brubeck, Wynton Marsalis, Joshua Redman, Chris Potter, Nicholas Payton, Harvey Mason, Chris Botti, Joe Locke, Ron Carter, Pat Martino, Roy Hargrove and many others. Through these opportunities and other wonderful musical experiences, Eldar continues to explore new frontiers through composing and performing, enabling him to ultimately to realize his own musical vision.
Praised as “a genius beyond most young people I’ve heard” by Dave Brubeck.
Eldar was nominated for a Grammy in 2008 for his album “Re-imagination.”
