Date : October 5 2021
Venue : Salle Cortot – 78, rue Cardinet – Paris 17 (France)
Album ‘ PLANET ‘ – Piano Bass Drum Trio
The pianist, composer and arranger, Isfar Sarabski presents his album « Planet ». At the head of a piano-bass-drums trio, the virtuoso musician also surrounds himself on certain titles with a string orchestra. It offers music that creates bridges between jazz, mugham and classical music. A few emotionally charged moments dot this album, bursting with energy.
Keyboard virtuoso, pianist Isfar Sarabski came to jazz after a solid classical training.
On his album « Planet » to be released on April 30, 2021 at Warner Music , he brought together pianist Alan Hampton and drummer Mark Guiliana .
Propelled by this explosive rhythmic, he deploys a great energy on his keyboard and juggles with the octaves.
Fortunately, a few sensitive moments constitute appreciable brackets of calm which temper the fiery effervescence of the pianist.
Isfar Sarabski
Born in 1989 in Baku (Azerbaijan), Isfar Sarabski began playing the piano at the age of 3. In 2007, he joined the Bulbul Music School then the Baku Academy of Music in the piano class of Farhad Badalbeyli. From this teaching he learns the rigor of the universe of the classical world. He then benefited from a scholarship granted by the President of his country and was named Honorary Artist of Azerbaijan. Thus, at 16, pianist Isfar Sarabski is already a promising young hopeful who performs in his country but also in Norway and Russia.
Nothing very surprising, because the music is in a way written in the DNA of this artist from a family of musicians. He is indeed the great-grandson of Huseyngulu Sarabski, musical pioneer and immense star of the Muslim world, singer (tenor) of opera, actor and author of plays. The young Isfar Sarabski also grows up in the middle of his father’s vinyl collection which « … were literally [his] toys ».
