Armen Donelian Trio

featuring: Armen Donelian, piano Dave Clark, bass George Schuller, drums

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.

Clark is an experienced composer and professor of bass at Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Schuller, the son of noted composer Gunther Schuller, is a New York City-based drummer, bandleader and record producer with a pedigree musical upbringing.

OASIS (SSC 4007), Armen Donelian's new trio CD due out May 6th, 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.
