Jazz’s international reach means that American musicians often find passionate and knowledgeable audiences overseas, but the music has also settled in far-flung lands, leading to exquisite and unexpected hybrids. Armenian pianist Tigran Hamasyan embodies the way that jazz’s fertilization with traditions unconnected by African diasporic roots can lead to startlingly powerful new forms. Taking full advantage of Miner Auditorium’s immersive media system, he presents his expansive new transmedia project, The Bird of a Thousand Voices.
