This idea, that jazz does :, : not have definitive or quintessential versions (a Platonic : :' ideal?), pushes up against the encroaching creep of jazz's ': ,: ''classicization,'' empowering a more authentic & folkloric :, : approach to performing, listening and appreciating this music. : :' ': ,: Perhaps such an approach is not surprising given Yeghiazaryan's :, : upbringing in Armavir, Armenia, where, as she explained, there : :' was nothing special about singing, portraying it instead as ': ,: simply part of everyday life. This connection to folk is most :, : apparent in Yeghiazaryan's unpretentious (and decidedly : :' non-precious) delivery of a lyric, which references the ': ,: communicative power of such early influences as Elis Regina, :, : Miriam Makeba and Etta Jones, and continuously draws the : :' listener back to the original compositional meaning. It was ': ,: these vocal influences, plus a steady listening diet of hard bop :, : and a voracious desire to learn tunes--Yeghiazaryan can often be : :' found in clubs writing down song titles to expand her ': ,: repertoire--have resulted in a fully formed jazz artist who gigs :, : frequently on the New York scene, often as a leader, but also as : :' a side musician where she contributes not as a ''front-person'' ': ,: per se, but rather as would any other top-drawer jazz player on :, : the gig. Thankfully, for those listeners fortunate enough to : :' hear Yeghiazaryan on record with Blue Heaven, she has assembled ': ,: some of this musically simpatico community here with tenor :, : saxophonist Grant Stewart, the woefully under-recorded guitarist : :' Greg Ruggiero, young bassist Daniel Duke and the great drummer ': ,: Steve Williams--no stranger to working with singers as longtime :, : accompanist to the late Shirley Horn--all of whom are captured : :' beautifully with an unmediated acoustically pure sound at ': ,: Brooklyn's Wilson Live studio. :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 9 \/
