Album Review
Up to this point, Eldar Djangirov has been best known as a brilliant young acoustic pianist who is influenced a little by Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock. While Eldar has previously been heard mainly in trios, Re-Imagination is a bit of a departure, ranging from unaccompanied piano solos on "Tears" and "Dream Song" and a romping trio rendition of Oscar Peterson's "Place St. Henri" to a few electronic numbers on which Eldar adds synthesizers for color. Three selections have DJ Logic on turntables, interacting with the leader's keyboards. The electronic trappings may dismay Eldar's fans, but in general they are quite intelligent and reasonably creative. Even those numbers have strong displays of Eldar's acoustic piano playing, and he really digs into "South Bixel." One cannot blame Eldar for spreading his wings a bit, and fortunately no one gets hurt along the way. This CD was nominated for a Grammy award in 2007 for Best Contemporary Jazz Album.

I want those genes
by flakidAbsolutely Stunning
I am 17 years old and play the piano (obviously not nearly as good as Eldar) and sing in several choirs at my school and in my community. I consider myself to be a pretty good musician. I was first introduced to Eldar's music by my English teacher (who, in addition to his teaching job, is a studio pianist and organist and owns a recording studio). We were both stunned at how fast and crisp Eldar's fingers glide across the keys. I wish I had better music genes to pass on to my children so they might have a hope of being remotely close to the level of achievement and talent that Eldar has.
