Alexis Avakian "Miasin" Sextet

With his two previous albums, Alexis Avakian had already conquered the trade press under the spell of this mixed and elegant music mixing folklore and Armenian culture with jazz with subtlety." A unique blend from a shocking solo dudouk to a solo of swinging piano at the Red Garland without ever experiencing a collision between two worlds.The soft, supple and engaging voice of singer Miqayel Voskanyan, described by the New York Daily Music as "the new Armenian sound, dynamic, exhilarating, haunting, "brings warmth and sensitivity to the whole." With "Miasin", Alexis Avakian, surrounded by top musicians, realizes a work of goldsmith, a sublime music that places it more than ever in the firmament of French Jazz.
