Armen Donelian Trio

Donelian's piano playing reveals a masterful command rooted in classical and jazz studies, clean articulation, a deft, swinging touch, access to a broad dynamic spectrum, a virtuosic harmonic vocabulary and a boundless source of creative ideas. Without force or persuasion, he invites the listeners to join the trio in very personal and reflective explorations.

The Trio's new CD Oasis is his 11th as a leader, featuring him in a set of six originals and two standards accompanied by David Clark on bass and George Schuller on drums, his band-mates for the past four years.
