Jazzical Komitas - The Music of Armenian Folk Songs on Staccato

A pianist who’s worked with opera singers, rock bands and jazz musicians was shocked when he heard the music of Amenian folk songs. Joel A. Martin was shocked because he’d never heard this music before and he immediately fell in love with it. So much so that he arranged some of the tunes that were written down by Komitas Vartapet nearly 90 years ago. The album is called Jazzical Komitas.
