Marisha Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 (edited) Listen to the Heart of Armenia, Listen to Datevikв That is how the legendary composer Michelle Legrand expressed his emotions after he listened to Datevik Hovanesianв€™s music. Datevik Hovanesian and her trio are taking part at one of the worldв€™s largest womenв€™s jazz festival, the в€œ2nd Annual Diet Coke Women in Jazz Festivalв€ќ at Jazz at Lincoln Center, which returns this September to Dizzyв€™s Club Coca-Cola. This exciting festival features the best female jazz vocalists and instrumentalists on the scene today, such as Rene Marie, Eliane Elias and the legendary Marian McPartland to name a few. Datevik is proud to be part of this elite group of musicians. Jazz lovers of all ages are invited to attend these exciting and inspiring musical events that will take place from September 4th to October 1st. Datevik Hovanesianв€™s performance is on Monday September 18th at 7:30 PM. The musicians accompanying Datevik Hovanesian are all very well known in the world of Jazz. Brilliant musicians; pianist/composer Bob Albanese, Bass player Joe Fitzgerald and Marcello Pellitteri on drums will take you through a beautiful journey from East to West and beyond. The program is a bouquet of a few of the most popular songs performed in the past as well as new additions. As usual Datevik and her trio will tastefully select and combine some of the best traditional American Jazz compositions, Brazilian Bosanovas, ballads and Armenian ethnic jazz. Datevik, the daughter of the Queen of Armenian Folk song Ophelia Hambartsumian, is a master of improvisation. Following her motherв€™s career path, being raised in a musical family, she chose jazz as her medium of communication but was never cut off from her roots. Datevik and her Trio will perform arrangements of Armenian folk songs that are unique; blending centuries old traditional melodies and multicultural elements with unprecedented innovations in jazz techniques and singing. The mixture is absolutely beautiful and makes the experience intense and refreshing in the world of free jazz and improvised music. Datevik gives a fresh voice to Komitas and Armenian folk music in a jazz medium, by staying extremely honest and true to roots of centuries old music and culture. Datevikв€™s music will touch the heart and spirit of the listener, independent of their age or nationality. в€œI never thought I would like jazz so muchв€ќ is a common response by the audience attending Datevikв€™s concert for the first time. в€œI never knew where Armenia was, until she introduced us to this beautiful cultureв€ќ is another common response by non-Armenian audiences who listened to her live in Sydney, Australia or Montreal, Canada. So, donв€™t miss the opportunity to attend a great performance at one of New York Cityв€™s top jazz performance spaces. Dizzyв€™s Club Coca-Cola is an intimate 140-seat jazz club, set against a glittering backdrop with spectacular views of Central Park that provides a hip environment for performance and serves a jazz inspired fantastic dinner menu.
