Kyrgyzstan Prodigy

Monday, July 23, 2007

Twenty-year-old jazz pianist Eldar Djangirov was classically trained at age five and grew up listening to masters like Oscar Peterson and Thelonious Monk. On his third major-label album, “Re-Imagination,” he spices up his piano lines with funk rhythms and DJ scratches. He joins us for a live solo performance.

Eldar performs Saturday, August 25th at the J&R Music Festival at City Hall Park. Visit his website for more information.
