Eldar Djangirov is a young pianist originally from Kyrgystan. He lives in the United States. He is incredible. I love him so much because he is so expressive and at the same time such a virtuoso. What I like about him especially is that he knows every style so well. He knows how to make funk funky, Latin sound like Latin, etc.
Here is an amazing video of him playing Take the A Train.
Eldar has 3 CDs out: “Eldar” (2005), “Live at the Blue Note” (2006 ) and “Re-Imagination” (2007).
He really is one of the best in there. I saw him once in a bar. And he really is nice. I’m gonna stick to his play style. I have been practicing some of it that I heard from him.
True!! This man is the real deal in his style. Probably, many piano genius will come to this world! Hail all of them!
