Pianist Daniel Kramer and leader of Katuner Jazz Band Vahagn Hayrapetyan give concert in Aram Khachaturian Concert Hall. They were touring in different cities of Russian Federation in 2011-2012. The concert recording of Yekaterinburg performance was released in Armenia and presented during the concert ”Live in Armenia”.
They performed famous standards of jazz in a non-standard way. The concert included performances of the improvisation by Paul Desmond, Thelonious Monk, Stuart Gorrell, Vincent Youmans and other jazzmen.
“Vahagn was born to become a jazzman. I’m a classical musician who started playing jazz. I don’t play it like the “innate” jazzmen, and I don’t need to.” says Kramer, art-director of many Russian jazz festivals.
Two great jazz pianists performing a duet with two pianos facing each other on the stage made a great scene for the audience.
