Seeing this guy play was the scariest musical experience of my life. I can't really think of a more complete improvising pianist since Mehldau. His musical voice is so heart breakingly unique. His technique is just about as good as you get, and his rhythmic and melodic concepts are astonishing. Truly a once in a generation musician.

"The artist lives in a dreamlike inner world which is as realistic as the physical one. The artist lives in the world where the moment of the unconscious creation is the way to feel conscious, from which poems and melodies and stories arise, inspired by the divine mystery. Unutterable seconds of longing, subliminal realization, and mostly joy fill the body as a work of art, a poem, or a melody is being born into this world for no apparent reason, but only for the humanity to discover what is invisible: the divine mystery." - Tigran Hamyasan
