Tigran Hamasyan launches a European tour, featuring music from his new album, An Ancient Observer, with a performance at the Philological Association of Parnassos in Athens, Greece, on Saturday. The autumn tour, which continues through the end of November, makes stops in France, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Luxembourg, and Hamasyan’s home country of Armenia. See below for the currently announced dates or visit nonesuch.com/on-tour. To mark the start of the tour, Hamasyan has released a video giving an inside look at the first leg of his tour following the release of An Ancient Observer on Nonesuch Records earlier this year. You can watch the video, made by Elena Hamasyan and edited by Mihran Stepanyan and Elena Hamasyan, below.
An Ancient Observer includes ten new compositions, two of which are based on Armenian melodies. Some are through-composed and completely written out, while others are composed with ample space for Hamasyan to improvise. He cites a wide range of influences—from Baroque dance to hip-hop grooves adapted to piano—and the sounds of his native country of Armenia are present, as always. DownBeat exclaims: "It's simply breathtaking."
The Huffington Post calls Hamasyan "one of jazz's most dynamic artists ... [T]he influences of the music are manifold ... though the Armenian influence, which makes his music so uniquely outstanding, is prominent."
To pick up a copy of An Ancient Observer, head to iTunes, Amazon, and the Nonesuch Store, where CD and vinyl orders include a download of the complete album at checkout.

Rhiannon Giddens and Justin Robinson have unveiled “Marching Jaybird,” an instrumental track from their forthcoming album of North Carolina fiddle and banjo music, What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow, due April 18. Revisiting this tune recorded by Etta Baker, one of their musical heroes and a key inspiration for making this new album, and recording it at Baker’s Morganton, NC, home "was a magical moment for Justin and me," Giddens says. "Walking into her house, which is frozen in time, looking just like it did when she was alive, very much reminded us of women in our families; sitting in her living room and recording this piece learned from her playing was pretty profound." You can watch the video here. Giddens has also announced a number of new tour dates, including the Hollywood Bowl, and shared more details about her Biscuits & Banjos festival, which takes place in Durham, NC, April 25–27.
Guitarist and composer Yasmin Williams, who continues her own headline tour later this month, will join St. Paul and the Broken Bones and The Wood Brothers as their special guest on six dates in the US Midwest in July. The shows start at Rock the Ruins in Indianapolis on July 10 and include stops in Cleveland, Interlochen, Fort Wayne, St. Louis, and Kansas City. General on-sale begins this Friday.
