Tigran Hamasyan - The Court Jester (Berklee Middle Eastern Festival)

[@YutsiAion]

I am so grateful for living in the same era as Tigran!

[@alvaro.makes.music1]

Modern jazz, Steve Reich, Armenian folklore and Meshuggah... all in one! I love Tigran's music

[@charlienadeau5856]

This song gives me chills every single time I hear it. Impossible rhythms, fascinating harmonies, and beautiful discordance. This masterpiece hits all the right buttons

[@victorbitencourt9481]

Insane, probably the most creative and innovative pianist alive.

[@BernoRock]

I agree.

[@roseopheliashepherd8379]

Magma Mingus Minimalist Middle Eastern Meshuggah Who would combine these influences! My ears thank Tigran for doing so!

[@barisjohn77]

That slowdown transition starting at 5:10 is fantastic

[@cornela1]

That bass player makes the best guitar faces! Love watching him and the guitarist rock the fuck out every Tigran Berklee performance!

[@waltzguy14151]

Some of the most beautiful music in the Universe. Period

[@seththehobbit2066]

That 'Justin Timberlake' dude enjoyed the beat so much. Tigran is a genius.

[@saidialaouimohamed8532]

May the Armenian rage unite us all one day

[@zaran1]

When a pianist is good enough to say "this monitor is a few centimeters too far off... I have to position it better mid-song..."

[@justinhenry508]

love how into it all the performers all, so many smiles.

[@timjohnston6493]

Extraordinary piece ...Tigran is on his own as a master musician 🙏

[@AdamWoodhams]

holy fuck, today was the day i discovered this

[@phunsukh2810]

4:32 is when the guitarist and bassist lose their shit and 4:53 is when the drummers follow suit. They had been waiting for this section. And I am loving it.

[@smyrnian_]

Insanely awesome fusion!

[@DanolsPlaysGuitar]

Yeah! It’s so amazing to watch this live, I think this is my favorite of the Berklee sessions. I want to see Tigran perform live with musicians. What a beast!

[@Beniguitar94]

I love when Tigran smashes the amp to the ground at 2:12 and it is right on tempo!

[@oaxacenio]

dude with red hair! i am totally with you. that must have been so fun to play live :)

[@JiPaLa78]

these musicians are unbelievable, how tight...wonderful!

[@Sadowsky46]

Yeah! Yoel and Guy, always in the middle of fun!

[@Veron369]

Tigran!!!

[@davidbena627]

Nádhera!

[@malin6594]

Oh wow... this is beyond words. Hits you like a bulldozer, but in the right way.

[@thekid4576]

An absolute genius

[@sophievalleau7845]

Merci. Thank you.

[@freddilapisho2855]

What sorcery is this! Beautiful

[@tsolakmeliqyan3313]

Geneus! No comment!

[@masbisss]

5:09 best part

[@Emma-ul3gz]

this is such a jam

[@milkadamjanovic]

Magician

[@marc_randrianarison]

Hamasyan as leaders

[@UkuleleAversion]

I could listen to that ending riff forever. Learned it on piano today. It's all groups of 2s and 3s (with an occasional group of 4 thrown in) so as far as a time signature, I just wrote it in mixed metre. Or in other words, I follow the clave more than the real time signature that being a disguised 3/4.

[@JayShead]

This has made my day, so amazing

[@tom7]

god this song kills

[@whackamole]

Wowsers

[@ArtsrunKhangeldyan]

One big reason to be a proud Armenian.

[@GustavoBedonDrummer]

Existimos seres humanos y Tigran Hamasyan...

[@zevzeg1]

Beautiful music. Dear Berklee - please post recording of "Drip" from this concert. TIA

[@ARojas-xk2vc]

[@Riddim4]

[@schadracadjognidje9655]

[@tim73000]

Maxime Cholley ça rigole plus tu joue vraiment dans la cour des grands ! Super morceau de Tigran !

[@nehcivil3001]

WOW

[@TreasureX7]

Energy, electricity, thick air..

[@aaroni6172]

1:52 bass player going fucking sicko mode

[@brigittepapazian3448]

Genial

[@RoboticsBay]

Sounds like Steve Reich! Amazing

[@pazizamora9080]

[@Krisselvlogs]

This is more metal than metal

[@alexholste7891]

impressive!!!

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

love it!!

[@MrAdobo77]

Wow

[@lukassvetich5215]

I appreciate that the cellist is wearing docs.

[@jom5852]

that beautiful seven-string Ibanez guitar is dying for a solo....

[@diegoromero-lovo5112]

2:26 I get a loose vibe of the beginning of Debussy's danse profane

[@maynarddrivesfast804]

I so want to see a collaboration with Tigran and TesseracT or Pomegranate Tiger. You could call it Pomegranate Tigran!

[@Deepusilpas8205]

super pianist

[@kaarejepsen8550]

✨🌹✨

[@YusufRoshd]

#HAGO

[@SupahDinoTroopa]

Djazz

[@pboogie3472]

damn the bassist is nuts

[@foolishness6261]

Fantastic. Though I didn't realise David Tennant (Doctor Who) could play piano

[@mamtasinghal5307]

2:51 thank me later Its the lick (Sorta)

[@loicparadis-laperriere7285]

Ibanez 7 strings?

[@xXTenderTacosXx]

if cyriak split into 30 different people and composed something, this is probably close to what would come out of it

[@grungeisthelight]

they are probably all crazy, and they make music graze with chaos. a perfect logical chaos within their anarchic order.

[@JanMiklosko]

5:10 this is not 1/2 time right? Sounds like 1/3 time :-D
